Cross-Examination, Fair Trial & Survivor Justice in Rape -- Chapter 7. Where Next? Conclusions & Considerations for the Future of Rape Justice.In light of ongoing concerns about the treatment of survivors, Rape Trials in England and Wales critically examines court responses to rape and sexual assault. 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. .VictimologyTrialsSex and lawCriminal justice, Administration ofCritical criminologySex crimesVictimologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B1040Juries and Criminal Trialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BB040Gender, Sexuality and Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BB030Criminal Justicehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BB010Ethnicity, Class, Gender and Crimehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B1030Sexual Offendinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BG020Victimology.Trials.Sex and law.Criminal justice, Administration of.Critical criminology.Sex crimes.Victimology.Juries and Criminal Trials.Gender, Sexuality and Law.Criminal Justice.Ethnicity, Class, Gender and Crime.Sexual Offending.364.1532097509034Smith Oliviaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut911377BOOK9910299861503321Rape Trials in England and Wales2040969UNINA
