Paula Simons told us last week that murder isn't a private affair. The newspaper columnist argued that an RCMP practice of withholding the names of victims at the family's request does a disservice to the public.

This week we'll hear the opposite view, as delivered by Heidi Illingworth the Executive Director, of the Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime.
