>who could be better (as law enforcement) than those who have lived thru the very evil that they are hunting down
That could make them biased couldn't it? "Seeing" their abuser(s) in those they investigated? Law enforcement must keep in mind that people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law… but it seems many law enforcement have severe problems with that. I can only imagine how hard it would be with someone you believed is an abuser.
