Well, it depends on your parameters of  "success," Janey7--and maybe the  bucks (and the organization receiving it) is how feminists and the G&M sexual response investigative team measure success.  Should t be? I'm not convinced.  It sounds too much like another "throw bucks at it" knee-jerk political response. Trust G&M will follow up next year with a "What did the money buy?"expose. 

You might be interested to know that some of the money (just over $2 million, if memory serves) is ear-marked for the remedial sexual assault education for judges. Interesting in that the judges are the next-to-last  link in the judicial chain ("corrections" branch is last.), NO money was allocated for police education, a detail included in the G&M story, so maybe this is not quite the success after all. You can "educate" or "sensitize" judges all you want, but unless the laws regarding SA conviction change, not much else will.
