Sexual offences pose severe violations of human rights that
necessitate criminal law intervention in every democratic society.
Using a holistic and integrated approach, this book examines sexual
offenses through criminal law and criminal procedure within
different jurisdictions. Impunity or lenient punishment enjoyed by
perpetrators appears as a fundamental concern and contribute to
low(er) reporting rates. Attrition, from the perspective of
criminal law, is not only caused by issues in criminal procedure,
like a lack of victim support or insufficient evidence, but is
primarily linked to the definition of sexual offences which is
hugely influenced by society, culture, and political power.
Stereotypes that are deeply rooted in society in the form of common
myths such as: victim of sexual offences are always female(s), or
sexual offences take place outside of marriage, or that the victim
has an obligation to manifest a resistance, or a woman accepting a
gift by a man shows she consented to sexual acts and many others
that are impediment to combatting sexual violence. These myths are
not just maintained by society, but they also affect the victim's
decision to seek justice, as well as the judiciary's approach to
victims and the police's attitudes towards victims. Using cases and
legislation from Croatia, Greece, Italy, North Macedonia, Romania,
Serbia, and Turkey, and comparing them to United Kingdom, Germany,
the Netherlands and the United States, this book presents
peculiarities stemming from society, culture, politics, historical
facts and even religion, along with solutions to the global
problems of sexual offenses. This book is of interest to scholars
studying criminal justice, legal studies, sociology, and cultural
studies
