help and that women who are afraid of the police Investigation will naturally not notify them It thb type of misun derstanding of police roles which McQueen stated as being completely wrong So many people think we arc callous dirty old men Its often difficult for a policeman to come out as a nice un derstanding fatherly figure You cant just say to the girl you were raped Just nod your head We have to get the facta and we have to get them correct In all probability the questions asked by the in vestigator wont be as tough the ones which will be asked In court added that a woman must also have a complete physics examination done legally and properly In order for the evidence to stand up in court Whatever you do If a rape occurs dont change wash or try to pretty yourself up for father
