Investigation into police misconduct in Champaign County reveals how domestic violence cases are handled
Farrah Anderson / Illinois Public Media and the Invisible Institute
Our last conversation around the work of the Invisible Institute highlights its partnership with Illinois Public Media. One of several pieces to come out of this partnership is “Champaign Police investigate ‘agency culture’ of not following domestic violence reporting laws.”
The story went on to be recognized with a regional award from the Society of Professional Journalists and took second place in Collaborative Effort from the Public Media Journalists Association.
Today we are joined by the journalists behind the project, who will discuss how these investigations into the Champaign Police Department came about, what some of the challenges were and the response from the community.
A version of this conversation orginally aired on June 26, 2024.
