Sexual assault: A guide to the criminal system

---

Sexual Assault: A Guide to the Criminal System provides a clear and practical overview of how the criminal justice process responds to cases of sexual assault, offering guidance for survivors, advocates, and practitioners. The book explains each stage—from reporting and police investigation to prosecution, trial, and sentencing—while outlining the rights of victims and the responsibilities of law-enforcement and legal professionals. It highlights common challenges faced by survivors, including evidentiary requirements, cross-examination, and procedural delays, and emphasizes the importance of trauma-informed approaches throughout the process. Designed as an accessible resource, this guide aims to demystify the criminal system, empower survivors with knowledge, and encourage more consistent and sensitive handling of sexual-assault cases.
