| Title: | Misconceptions of sexual crimes against adult victims: Barriers to justice |
| Authors: | Tidmarsh, Patrick Hamilton, Gemma |
| Topic: | Policing and legal responses Sexual violence |
| Year: | 2020 |

| Abstract: | Despite the prevalence of sexual offending in our communities, there is a lack of understanding about the nature and dynamics of sexual crimes. Myths and misconceptions about sexual offending are common and may contribute to the high attrition rates of sexual offence cases throughout the criminal justice system. This study synthesises over 40 years of research evidence to present an accurate and updated picture of sexual offending. With specialist knowledge, we can improve criminal justice responses and outcomes for victims of sexual crime. |
