Right Thing To Do: Reporting rape in Britain's criminal justice system - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Ella wasn’t supposed to write a book about a victim's perspective of reporting rape within Britain's criminal justice system, but then she wasn’t supposed to be raped by her boss either, so I guess you could say she’s trying to make the best of a life-changing situation. When she reported her rape to police, she was told there was nothing they could do and it was then that she began to both receive and seek an education into how broken the criminal justice system is around sexual offences, and the difficulties victims face. Ella wrote this book for three very specific groups of people: herself to try and understand what she'd been through; other victims, to help them make sense of their experiences; and those in police and wider judicial system and society to appreciate why so few sexual offenders are convicted. What you’re about to read is Ella's journey of understanding trauma; why the morality of #MeToo is not yet for the masses; the logistical and emotional realities of what it means to report a rape and why, in modern Britain, we have one of the lowest conviction rates for rape in the Western world.
