Hardcover. Despite fifty years of "progressive" rape law reform in Australia and across the common law world, victim-survivors of sexual violence continue to express disappointment and distress when they seek justice through the criminal courts.Reforming Rape Trials examines why. Drawing on rare access to tens of thousands of pages of transcripts from more than 100 rape trials in New South Wales and Victoria, the authors reveal a significant gapbetween the rhetoric of reform and the realities of courtroom practice. Complainants are still routinely accused of lying and are interrogated for not behaving as a supposedly "genuine" victim should. Thesequestioning practices remain deeply shaped by rape myths and stereotypes that are both harmful and empirically unfounded.Departing from earlier scholarship, which has largely attributed ongoing problems to failures of implementation by lawyers, judges, and juries, the book argues that the issues run deeper. The persistence of rape-myth reasoning and character attacks is not simply a failure of courtroom actors to adapt; it stems from the fact that policymakers andlegislators have never genuinely attempted to eliminate these practices. Modern reform efforts often prioritize complex statutory definitions of consent and detailed jury directions. Yet these tools do littleto transform the parts of the trial that most urgently require change-particularly cross-examination strategies steeped in outdated and misleading assumptions about sexual violence.The authors conclude that meaningful justice for victim-survivors requires a broader rethinking of law reform. Central to this is confronting the expansive notion of "relevant" evidence, which currently allows rape myths to enter the courtroom under the guise of probative value. They argue thatan accused person's criminal responsibility can and must be assessed without relying on evidence that perpetuates myths that have no legitimate role in twenty-first-centurytrials.This is an open access title.

'Reforming Rape Trials' draws on rare access to Australian rape trial transcripts to examine whether reforms made over the last 50 years changed courtroom practice. The findings show that rape myths and rigid expectations of victim behaviour remain entrenched in trial discourse, undermining complainant fairness and perpetrator accountability.

Acerca del autor
Luke McNamara has been researching and teaching in the fields of criminal law, criminalisation and human rights for more than 30 years. His socio-legal scholarship examines the origins and drivers of law reforms directed at improved responses to harms and risks, with a strong focus on understanding the consequences of mobilising new forms of criminalisation in pursuit of public policy objectives. Previous projects have included studies of the legal regulation of hate speech, the criminalisation of homelessness, and the policing of public health orders during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to his current work on rape law reform, he is leading a national study of criminal law-making in Australia since the 1970s.
