Britain's rape laws to be rewritten

Seems like the recommendations are already being ignored.

'Misleading' rape conviction statistic will not be dropped, says solicitor general http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article7062386.ece

reform of rape laws is needed. But this is the wrong direction.

Police, prosecutors and juries must take a foremost awareness that young women may be manipulative, and that presumptive belief in complainants facilitates false accusations. So does cash rewards for accusations.

In the only scientific studies of rape allegations, close to 50% are proven false when the police investigates thoroughly (where false = complainant recanting). The proposed reforms want to prevent police from questioning the credibility of complainants.

At the investigation stage, there should never be a presumptive victim of rape. Only a complainant. All legislation/policies/funding that speaks of police treatment of victims is unconstitutional. Its unfair to victims of false allegations to submit them to the expense and stress of a 2 year trial, just because its politically correct for police and social workers to act supportive to complainants and just let a jury decide.

Good. Because this is disgusting

failures such as those in the cases of the rapists John Worboys and Kirk Reid in London. Both investigations involved men who were allowed to carry out attacks long after they should have been detected.

This needs to be addressed

research into the truth about the number of women who make false allegations of rape.

This is even more disgusting

She says the media and public must stop blaming rape victims who are taken advantage of when they are drunk.

And this is still too fucking low

She says the true figure for the prosecution of rape cases is 58 per cent, based on the number of defendants convicted by a jury in a Crown Court.
