Using new data from an in-depth observational study of rape trials, this book asks why attempts to improve survivor experiences at court have not been fully effective. In doing so, Smith identifies deep-rooted barriers to survivor justice and, crucially, introduces potential avenues for more effective reform. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the practicalities of court, use of rape myths and sexual history evidence, underlying principles of adversarial justice and the impact of inequalities embedded within English and Welsh legal culture. This engaging and highly significant study is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the criminal courts and their responses to rape, including practitioners and students of criminology, sociology, and law."--Cover, page 4. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 261-287) and index. 650 0 $a Trials (Rape) $z England. 650 0 $a Trials (Rape) $z Wales. 776 0 $z 9783319756745 (online) 776 0 $w (GyWOH)har180207337 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210021400.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8B78E472840911E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
