What accounts for the spiraling rape rate in Santa Cruz (four times the state's average) compared to the drop in the rate for other cities of Santa Cruz's size?
Why has City Council delayed real action on this issue for a year?
What responsibility does City Council's Public Safety Committee--which supposedly oversees the SCPD--have in this situation and has it fallen down on that responsibility?
Has Councilmember Rotkin been an apologist for SCPD negligence on rape investigations and other police matters?
Why has City Council refused to make reform and revitalization of police investigation a priority?
What can ordinary people do to change this situation?
Are homeless women particularly vulnerable in this community?
Does the Sleeping Ban limit their access to the police, their right to sleep safely in numbers, and sleep in well-lighted areas?
