An Empirical Study of Police-Involved Sexual Assault Sexual assault is among the most challenging offenses to investigate and prosecute, a reality that is exacerbated when the perpetrator is a police officer. In this article, we analyze the attrition of 689 reports of police-involved sexual assault made to the Ontario Special Investigations Unit, between 2005 and 2020.
