It seeks to examine the attitudinal problems which bedevil this area of law and possible strategies for addressing them. Written by a professor of law and a professor of psychology, it reviews evidence from socio-legal and social cognition research and presents new data drawn both from interviews with judges and barristers and from studies with prospective lawyers and members of the public. In the final part, it considers different ways in which rape trials could be improved and suggests steps that could be taken to change public attitudes about sexual assault 410 0$aCriminal Law Library ;$vv. 5. 606 $aRape 606 $2Criminal law & procedure 606 $aRape$xPublic opinion 606 $aSex discrimination in criminal justice administration 606 $aWomen$xCrimes against 615 0$aRape. 615 0$aRape$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aSex discrimination in criminal justice administration. 615 0$aWomen$xCrimes against. 676 $a345.02532 700 $aTemkin$b Jennifer$0563729 702 $aKrahe$b Barbara 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817604803321 996 $aSexual assault and the justice gap$93974788 997 $aUNINA
