- As a longer-form output, this monograph draws on new data generated via in-depth, systematic observations of rape trials. The monograph advances a series of original claims about why attempts to improve survivor experiences at court have not been full effective. Smith identifies deep-rooted barriers to survivor justice and, crucially, introduces potential avenues for more effective reform. We feel double weighting is therefore justified in terms of the complexity of the research, volume of data and depth of inquiry into the dynamics of rape trials.
