police failure
Politisvigt betegner alvorlige fejl eller forsømmelser i politiets håndtering af en straffesag. Begrebet er ikke en fast juridisk term i dansk lov, men bruges bredt i true crime-sammenhæng om situationer, hvor politiet ikke har levet op til de forventninger, der normalt stilles til efterforskning og sagsbehandling.
