This book is set against the background of the so-called 'justice
gap' in sexual assault cases. It represents an interdisciplinary
attempt to examine the attitudinal problems which bedevil this area
of law and to offer possible strategies for addressing them.
Written by a professor of law and a professor of psychology, Sexual
Assault and the Justice Gap reviews evidence from both socio-legal
and social cognition research examining the impact of rape-related
attitudes on judgements about sexual offenses. It presents new
qualitative data from interviews with judges and barristers, and
includes new experimental studies that illustrate how stereotypic
beliefs about rape affect perceptions of victim blame and
perpetrator culpability. The final part of the book discusses
strategies to suppress the impact of rape stereotypes and promote
the data-driven appraisal of sexual assault complaints.
