Educated men most likely to file garda grievance

People most likely to make a complaint about gardaí are white, male, aged 18 to 40, and highly educated.

An analysis of cases over the course of three years shows the public might have “lost faith” in the Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commission (Gsoc).

The research also queried whether sanctions in cases where allegations against gardaí were proven were “less than expected, or not in proportion with the misbehaviour shown”.
