Abuse and crime
Criminal cases and institutional handling of abuse are the accountability reporting this site was built to carry, and they are followed well beyond the community. Every story here is sourced to an established news organisation and written to the Crime Language Template in our charter: allegation framing before conviction, and victims never identified beyond what the sources carry.
