HuffPost: When The Criminal Legal System Doesn’t Believe ‘Imperfect Victims’’
Police will always find a way to say, “Well, yeah, we care about victims, but this person isn’t a victim because …” And prosecutors will always find a reason to say, “But she was angry and not a victim. She was a violent person and not a victim. She had a foul mouth and was not a victim,” and the same with judges. So we see the ways that discretion plays out in this system now when people make really credible and strong claims of victimization and how those actors find ways to dismiss, discredit and disbelieve those survivors. There’s no reason to believe that reforms will make that any different.
