First published in 1987, Rape on Trial investigates the impact of
the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act, 1976 and considers the
treatment of rape victims by the courts in United Kingdom. Extracts
from trials are used extensively, and the author examines in
particular: how the anonymity provisions have worked out in
practice; how far the victim's previous sexual history is brought
up in court; how far she is held to be responsible for her
victimisation; ways in which the validity of her complaint is
questioned in court; and defence strategies to present her as a
legitimate victim. Also included are a critical discussion of the
controversial question of sentencing for rape, and new proposals
for legislative and procedural change. Extremely pertinent to
current times, this book will be of interest to students of law,
criminology, sociology as well as to any concerned citizen.
