One of those ways is to ensure that there are clear guidelines and requirements for transparency, for what AGs should be looking at and considering and for timelines so that when one of these crimes is committed, it doesn't just go into a black hole and disappear. This would go a long way to ensure that these incidents are addressed and restore confidence in the justice system.
