Above the law?

What happens when the person you're reporting to the police is a police officer? Anna Adams speaks to women who feel re-victimised by police forces they reported serious crimes to.

Since reporting on a story about police abuses earlier this year reporter Anna Adams has been inundated with calls and messages from women all telling her the same thing; they were a victim at the hands of a police officer. For File on 4 Anna investigates the failures of police forces to properly manage and investigate accused officers within their own ranks. Many of the women she speaks to are police officers themselves
