Counsellor satisfied with Inquiry

Satisfaction police culture being put under spotlight by Commission of Inquiry, according to counsellor Margaret Craig

There is satisfaction the police culture is being put under the spotlight by the Commission of Inquiry into rape allegations.

The inquiry, headed by Dame Margaret Bazley, will look into the police conduct, standards and procedures used when investigating allegations of sexual abuse against members of the force.

Margaret Craig is a sex abuse counsellor who has dealt with the woman at the centre of the rape allegations.

She says those terms of reference are a comfort.

Margaret Craig says it is necessary to look at what men entering the police force believe.
