Introducing Criminal Justice in Action’s first season, Rape on Trial, where we examine how rape and serious sexual offences are investigated and prosecuted in England and Wales: a probing, comprehensive, and, crucially, evidence-based look at how the criminal process works in these cases in practice, when it doesn't, and why it matters.

Whether you're a student of law, criminology, social sciences, criminal justice, psychology, gender studies or similar, undertaking policing studies or the Bar Practice Course, if you're a criminal justice practitioner or policy maker, or simply someone who is curious to gain a real-world understanding of how the criminal process deals with rape and sexual assault cases in practice, rather than in theory, Rape on Trial is for you.
