There are plenty of stories of law enforcement ignoring, downplaying, and even harassing victims of sexual crimes who try to report it. Please do not act like the police are a high trust authority who act only in good faith - we have overwhelmingly seen the other side of that in these past years.

There are also plenty of stories of the legal system working as intended. You can create any narrative you want from selectively paying attention to data.

Yes, sure. Instead, by holistically paying attention to data, we can see that rape is a wildly underprosecuted crime[0], and thus we can stop acting like there are no possible barriers obstructing these victims from justice.
Actually, it’s kind of hilarious when I put it this way... you’re the one selectively looking at the data to justify inaction.
