Author: Graeme Brown Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing ISBN: 1509917586 Category : Law Languages : en Pages : 355
Book Description
This book presents an in-depth comparative study of sentencing practice for rape in six common law jurisdictions: England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa. It provides a thorough review of the medical literature on the physical and psychological effects of rape, the legal and philosophical literature on the seriousness of the offence, and the victim's role in sentencing. Given the increasingly common practice of perpetrators using mobile and online technologies to film or photograph the commission of sexual offences, the book examines recent socio-legal research on technology-facilitated sexual violence and considers the implications for sentencing. By building on recent scholarship on judicial decision making in sentencing and case law – comprising over 250 decisions of the relevant appellate courts – the book explores and critically analyses judicial approaches to rape sentencing. The analysis is undertaken with a view to suggesting possible reforms to rape sentencing in 'non-guideline' jurisdictions. In so doing, this book seeks to establish general principles for sentencing rape, assisting in the imposition of proportionate sentences. This book will be of interest to judges and practising lawyers; to those researching criminal law, criminal justice, criminology, and gender studies; and to policy makers, including sentencing councils and commissions, in common law jurisdictions worldwide.

Book Description
The numbers of recorded offences of rape in England and Wales have increased greatly over the last decade. This report investigates such questions as: is there a greater proportion of violent rapes; are there more rapes of the very old or the very young; and has there been an increase in rapes committed by offernders previously known to the victim? The report considers how far changes in rape sentencing have reflected changes in the nature of the offence and concludes that sentencing became more severe during the period under review.
