What actually happens to rape cases in the criminal justice system?
Presented by Dr Candida Saunders, a legal scholar specialising in criminal law and evidence, Rape on Trial draws on police and prosecution case files, professionals' insights, and trial observations in real life cases to examine the investigation and prosecution of rape and serious sexual offences in England & Wales in practice.
By looking closely at each stage, at cases that do and don’t make it through the criminal process, we see how decisions are made--how evidence is weighed and assessed, thresholds applied, how cases are filtered out or ultimately prosecuted, and what jury trials in rape cases really look like in practice.
What we see challenges us to reconsider everything we 'know'--everything the mainstream narrative tells us--about rape myths, rape culture, and rape in the criminal process.
