Publisher Description: For more than 35 years, academics, lawyers, judges, and community workers have criticized the New Zealand criminal justice system for low reporting and conviction rates in cases of rape and sexual assault, the concerns of which culminate in this thorough investigation of the country's policies regarding sexual violence. The chapters highlight possible reforms of the pretrial and trial processes in such cases and recommend changes to the current system. |
