Rape investigation failures prompt calls for change
THE police will need to “undertake radical change” in the way it deals with rape complaints after big failures in the service were announced by an independent report yesterday.
A review conducted by Elish Angiolini into rape investigations in London revealed how an “increase in reporting is putting an overwhelming burden on staff.”
Concerns were also expressed that the Metropolitan Police would not be able to “effectively manage” the complaints as it stands.
