Dana Raphael, a Trinity senior, wrote a very powerful piece in her column, "A 'rare look' at a common experience: correcting the sexual assault narrative." It raised a question in my mind as to why the Durham County Sheriff's Department and the Durham Police Department (as distinct from the Duke Police Department) and the local District Attorney. Why aren't these authorities involved in rape cases that, by definition, are violations of laws (statutes) and thereby cases to be tried in criminal court?
