Mission Creator's Original Comments: Publicizing the name of a person accused of rape damages that person's life. But it's an important principle of justice in the UK that accusations be public, and accusations without naming the accused do not satisfy that principle. So where the crime is rape, society has no easy solution to the question, "Should we name or the suspect or not?" (I'm not sure what the best choice is either - I just wrote the Mission this way so it's a clear question.) ...... If the suspect should be named, at what point do we allow or encourage publication? Let's discuss what we should do and come to a decision that respects everyone involved. |
