The backlash against campus rape culture is growing.

Due-process group launches campaign against ‘victim-centered’ rape investigations

Even as critics of college sexual-assault investigations say that law enforcement should be more involved in the process, police themselves are adopting some of the more questionable recommendations of anti-rape activists, particularly that accusers should face little scrutiny and officers should limit their collection of evidence to stymie the accused.

Countering that approach is one goal of a new campaign by the Center for Prosecutor Integrity, a nonprofit group that fights “over-criminalization” of sex-related activities.

Launched in the wake of a report that says the conviction of black men for alleged sex crimes is “the new war on drugs,” the center’s Wrongful Convictions of Sexual Assault Program is a three-pronged attack on trends in campus, police and even military rape investigations:

The first effort is seeking to curb the expansion of “victim-centered investigations,” in which criminal investigators are instructed to cede “control of the process back to the victim” and are told that the complainant has a “right to request certain investigative steps not be conducted.”

The second is directed to Campus Sexual Assault, where due process protections are often lacking for students accused of sexual assault.
