Abstract

This article analyzes “Missing and Missed: Report of The Independent Civilian Review into Missing Person Investigations,” a review of Toronto Police’s conduct during “missing persons” investigations. Analyzing the Bruce McArthur investigation and police’s failed efforts to solve some of his victims’ “missing persons” cases, questions if overt bias or intentional discrimination influenced police procedure are answered. Critical of blanket statements that pardon police wrongdoing, this article explores the report’s recommendations and concludes with a suggestion of a crime prevention model to be considered by Toronto Police who are expected to release a plan of implementation in or before April 2022.

摘要

本文分析了“失踪和失踪：独立平民对失踪人员调查的审查报告”，这是对多伦多警方在“失踪人员”调查期间的行为的回顾。分析布鲁斯麦克阿瑟的调查和警方未能解决他的一些受害者“失踪人员”案件的努力，回答了是否存在明显偏见或故意歧视影响警方程序的问题。本文批评了赦免警察不法行为的一揽子声明，探讨了报告的建议，最后提出了多伦多警方将考虑的犯罪预防模式的建议，预计将在 2022 年 4 月或之前发布实施计划。
