⚡ Power-Knowledge Audit

The narrative is produced by The Guardian, a reputable news source, but the framing serves to reinforce the power dynamics between law enforcement and the public. The emphasis on the police watchdog's investigation obscures the broader structural issues within the police force and the societal context that enables misogyny. The framing also serves to maintain the public's trust in the police, rather than critically examining the institution's role in perpetuating abuse.
