Jennifer Brown (author), Yvonne Shell (author), Terri Cole (author)Published: 23/05/2023
By extending the cast list of roles implicated in rape’s hidden sphere of harm, this book attentively listens to experiential voices of complainant/witnesses, suspect/accused, police, lawyers, judges and jurors, therapists, advocates, partners, parents, family and friends during the criminal justice journey. Highlighting good and bad practices, it proposes a paradigm shift for inculcating policy reform, arguing the case for implementation science as a framework for embedding change. The book will be of interest to those involved in the policy, practice and delivery of criminal justice, the support and voluntary sector as well as giving valuable insight to students of forensic and investigative psychology, criminology, law, social policy, gender studies the new policing apprenticeship degree programmes.

MEDIA REVIEWS
“A distinctive feature of the book is the prominence given to the voices of different participants, illustrated with telling vignettes appearing in boxes throughout the text, providing a powerful complement to the findings of orthodox research. … For many readers, the core of the book will lie in the chapters devoted to the role of the police and the courts. … This book describes the flurry of acronym-rich initiatives by different agencies designed to fill this gap … .” (Graham M. Davies, Policing, Vol. 17, 2023)
