Rape Trials in England and Wales: Observing Justice and Rethinking Rape Myths (1st ed. 2018 edition.)

In light of ongoing concerns about the treatment of survivors, this book critically examines court responses to rape and sexual assault.

Using new data from an in-depth observational study of rape trials, the 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.
