Table Of ContentIntroduction: The Credibility Conundrum 'She Stings While She Delights': Rape Definitions and Representations 'Have You Really Been Raped?': Criminal Justice System Responses Beyond Belief: Police Files on Rape Having 'A Nose for It': How Investigators Investigate Perfect Victims/Perfect Policing?: In the Words of the Women 'Getting it Right': Reviewing Police Responses to Rape Conclusion: True 'Lies' and False 'Truths'

SynopsisThe notion that women lie about rape is a prevalent belief with pervasive influence. This book is unique in combining police file data with interviews obtained from both rape survivors and detectives in order to critically explore how this belief affects police officers' responses to women who report rape. Examination of this material is located within a broader analysis of the historical and socio-cultural environment, and illustrates how rape investigations continue to be conducted within the context of pervasive beliefs and stereotypes regarding both the nature of rape and the nature of women.
