How watching ‘The Detectives’ made me feel?

I have been watching a documentary called ‘The Detectives’ the documentary is about people under suspicion of paedophilia, mainly about a male called ‘Ray Turret’ who was convicted on more than 14 accounts of rape.

Overall I say this documentary made me feel sick, I felt rather angry at the fact that there are still rapists out and about, it makes me think about my own safety out in the real world. What If i was next? Or even someone else?

Although I agree with specific bits of the documentary that are featured, I believe that bleeping the victims names and interview shots out was very kind and respectful to the victims’ privacy so that it is confidential. I also believe that the awareness raised toward the situation was very helpful for people in the future; so that they can notice and prevent when it happens so that less people are victims.

It also gives insight on how police deal with situations that are given to them. I am glad that there is also a special police section especially for cases such as this.

I didn’t like how they drifted off topic throughout the documentary; they would focus completely on the police itself rather than the main story. I also didn’t appreciate the exposure of vulnerable people that were featured in the documentary.

The music was also more enjoyable music rather than serious; since the subject was a serious matter.

The documentary however; does give and feature opportunities. Such as letting victims know that they are not alone and that people are there to help out if need someone to talk to.

I also know that it shall help to expose rapists, and it will help to arrest more rapists.

This entire documentary does pose threats towards people as it can scare various others and it can be unfair to wrongly accused suspects.

I overall felt sickened at the footage of the wallpaper being stripped at the apartment where Ray Turret used to live. Various names, star ratings and phone numbers were found on the stripped walls. It just shows how far Turret and his accomplices went into creating such a long list of young and vulnerable victims; it illustrates just how long they must have been doing all that horrible stuff to those poor victims those poor victims. The fact that the walls were papered over twice made it seem like they really needed it hidden.

It upset me seeing all those victims breaking into tears and stuttering their words.

I believe that the detectives did a good job, digging deep into the suspects throughout their interviews in order to get all the possible information. The detectives also did well in getting as much info as possible from the victims even though it was horrifying and a sensitive subject, I felt sorry for those poor victims. I was sickened when viewing the scene of the documentary where all the names of the victims, complete with ratings and their numbers, were found. My opinion was given because it shows just how bad it had gotten, just how far the rapists had gone in getting victims and their details.

Once knowing and seeing just how bad the emotional damage had become with these victims. I was happy to know that the detectives were helpful towards them, and manage to make it as easy as possible and as relaxing as possible whilst interviewing them, so that they were a little more comfortable around the detectives.

In conclusion the documentary overall sickened me, and made me understand more about how the police handle this form of offence.
