Abstract

The prevalence of sexual offences is high in most jurisdictions; however justice outcomes for these crimes are typically low. Recent analysis of 75 studies across five developed countries, including Australia, Canada, England and Wales, Scotland and the United States, has revealed that on average only 14% of sexual assaults are reported to police. Of these reports, only 30% are referred for prosecution and only 15% result in conviction (Daly & Bouhours, 2010). The rate of attention sexual assault and sexual child abuse cases is higher than nearly all other crimes commi"ed against the person (Home Office, 2010; Victorian Law Reform Commission [VLRC], 2004)
