      Across the U.S., very few campus rapes are prosecuted, both because victims fear going to police and prosecutors hesitate to bring cases that can be hard to win, the AP investigation found.

        Also because the schools intervene to try and keep it from escalating to criminal reports, the campus cops are there to protect the school, not the people at the school.

        Any diversion to “academic” discipline means they don’t have to report it as part of the crime stat.

          Perhaps first read what I reply to, that would enable you to understand my comment and the context. Then you can even reply with something that actually fits my comment.

              They’ve been here, it’s just that the population is outpacing moderation. I wish there was a way to fund moderation efforts for popular subs.
