I completely agree. You've heard me make my pitch for training for prosectors, but I think the front lines are on the police. If victims don't feel safe enough to report in the first place, all the training that the judges and prosectors have will go for naught. There's a complete, holistic need to understand better the perspective and reality of sexual assault.
I like the emphasis on the social factors, as opposed to the principles of evidence and the special rules that we have in the Criminal Code. I think we do a better job there. Where we really fall short is in understanding the social factors.
