Sexual Violence on Trial is a comprehensive and contemporary analysis of the investigation, prosecution, and cultural contexts of sexual violence. Drawing on a case study of Northern Ireland, as well as experiences from other jurisdictions across the United Kingdom and the island of Ireland, the book offers a critical examination of the challenges and complexities involved in addressing this issue.
The public and academic debates surrounding the high-profile 'Belfast/Rugby Rape Trial' and the subsequent Gillen review of the arrangements to deliver justice in serious sexual offense cases have resonated globally, mirroring movements such as #MeToo and #TimesUp. This book brings together the perspectives of practitioners and academics to explore contemporary challenges surrounding the societal and legal framing of sexual violence.
The book examines key aspects of the criminal justice process, including the challenges of supporting victims, responding to various forms of sexual violence, such as rape, peer abuse, intimate partner violence, and forced-to-penetrate cases, as well as exploring alternative perspectives and potential reforms. It also delves into broader debates surrounding balancing the interests of victims and defendants, the impact of cultural myths and stereotypes, the challenges of the digital age, models of consent, legal representation for victims, and the issue of anonymity and publicity surrounding trials.
Written by leading authorities in the field, Sexual Violence on Trial is a valuable resource for students and scholars of Criminology, Law, and Sociology. It provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of sexual violence, shedding light on its causes, consequences, and potential solutions.
