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. 000898362 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed April 9, 2018). 000898362 650_0 $$aRape$$zEngland. 000898362 650_0 $$aRape$$zWales. 000898362 650_0 $$aRape$$xSocial aspects$$zEngland. 000898362 650_0 $$aRape$$xSocial aspects$$zWales. 000898362 852__ $$bebk 000898362 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-75674-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000898362 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:898362$$pGLOBAL_SET 000898362 980__ $$aEBOOK 000898362 980__ $$aBIB 000898362 982__ $$aEbook 000898362 983__ $$aOnline 000898362 994__ $$a92$$bISE
