It is a text that is useful for academics (and students)
researching rape, but also practitioners working in the field (and
some of the contributions are from practitioners themselves). The
book pulls together some of the key academic names thinking
about/writing on rape, giving it real clout and credibility. By
dividing the book into three key areas; process and representation,
victim vulnerabilities and the criminal justice system, it is wide
reaching, comprehensive and evidence-based in its execution (more
so than some of its competitors). It leaves the reader with a
detailed appreciation of what the challenges facing rape victims,
the CJS and wider society are, and offers some sensible ways of
tackling these issues/the justice gap at large. Its focus on rape
(as opposed to other/all forms of sexual violence) allows the book
to drill down into the detail and build a comprehensive picture. It
has been brought fully up to date, in light of the vast amount of
research that has been published in the last ten years around rape
myths, the CJS, law, juries, legal practitioner responses and
victim experiences. It has been brought fully up to date, in light
of the range of legal and policy changes/reforms over the last
decade, and also now includes a focus on the digital. It has been
brought fully up to date, in light of national inquiries into
sexual offences, exposure of institutional forms of abuse, global
movements in response to sex crime (#MeToo), the re-emergence of
activism (Black Lives Matter) and the speaking back to gendered
power. The new book reflects the global reach of research and
thinking about rape, including more international coverage, with
material for the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand as well as
the UK.
