Once again, if you believe what is said without contrary evidence do you believe the Bible? Edited by Stirlingsays (20 Dec 2017 3.39pm)

Should always believe a victim when they come forward until the evidence says otherwise. Firstly, I don't agree with calling them the victim, they should be the complainant. The police should however certainly investigate any and all claims, accumulate all evidence and the decision should lie with the CPS, as to whether to prosecute. It should never be down to the police to determine if something happened or not. Their responsibility is to accumulate the evidence, and if there is sufficient evidence caution and charge individuals. Once the decision to charge has been made, only then should terms like victim be used. Otherwise the police will be colouring their perspective of events, that encourages increased bias towards the claimant. The police should act responsibly, and treat claimants and the accused in a manner that presumes nothing, and accumulate evidence towards conclusions.

I think its reasonable for the police to investigate on the basis of a complaint, but that they should not be investigating with a view to interpreting evidence towards a conclusion they've presupposed; that's as dangerous as not believing someone.

That's what they are, so yes. I prefer the term claimant, accuser and accused pre-suppose evidence and are terms commonly associated with trial.

If crime isn't driven by genetics then why do males commit more of it? I suspect they don't, they're more inclined towards certain types of crime than women. Crime is a sociological phenomena, as it relies on ethical rules not biological constructs. Plenty of women commit crimes, they tends towards a different area (and areas of crime that have more tolerance when it comes to policing and enforcement) - and they're less likely to receive custodial sentences for those crimes as they're less likely to be crimes against the person. For example, prostitution, shop lifting and non-payment of fines and bills, esp TV licence was dominated by female offenders.

So throwing kids out of university and ruining them with unproven sexual charges is ok with you? What exactly qualifies as a 'balance of evidence'? Only rich kids have been able to afford taking these universities to court. The same balance of evidence that's admissible within civil courts - the same as would be used for a tribunal or civil case. Which would of course be just as applicable if they'd sued for damages relating to rape. Edited by jamiemartin721 (20 Dec 2017 4.14pm)

Social constructs within societies obviously have their affects but we are biological beings with gender differences......though that isn't saying that the genders can't be very close with individuals or that you get a percentage of people with traits usually associated with the opposite gender. But the reasons there aren't many women on oil rigs isn't because they were given dolls at Christmas.

Let me get this right. You just believe people with no evidence? How about you investigate their claim and draw a conclusion based on the findings. Or is that too old fashioned for you?
2) Then follow the evidence 3) The truth will come out

Believe is the wrong word. It's best to take their claim seriously and investigate without an assumption of guilt.
