Above the law?

BBC Radio 4 - File on 4, Above the law?

Are police forces letting down victims of crime when those accused are their own officers?

What happens when the person you're reporting to the police is a police officer? Anna Adams speaks to women who feel re-victimised by police forces they reported serious crimes to.

Since reporting on a story about police abuses earlier this year reporter Anna Adams has been inundated with calls and messages from women all telling her the same thing; they were a victim at the hands of a police officer. For File on 4 Anna investigates the failures of police forces to properly manage and investigate accused officers within their own ranks. Many of the women she speaks to are police officers themselves
