This book explores the shortcomings of the criminal justice
system's response to sexual violence. Despite a plethora of legal
and policy reforms, concerns remain regarding the conviction rates
for rape and the extent to which cases fall out of the system.
Ample research has highlighted the ongoing impact of 'rape myths'
and the presence of an 'implementation gap' whereby policies,
provisions and measures - proposed in order to improve the system's
response - are frequently not brought into practice, nor utilised
as expected. Rape and the Criminal Trial proposes a move beyond
representational theory and towards New Materialism and affects, a
school of thought which emphasises the importance of embodiment and
the ontological intensive regime as necessary in order to generate
radical new approaches for understanding this problematic status
quo, and in order to move forward to the production of more
effective solutions.
