Sexual History Evidence and the Rape Trial: A Multidisciplinary Critique
Transitional Justice Institute, Ulster University
About this event
'Sexual History Evidence and the Rape Trial: A Multidisciplinary Critique'
Public Seminar by Prof Joanne Conaghan
The use of evidence of a complainant's prior sexual behaviour in trials for sexual assault has long been a source of controversy in criminal justice discourse. Disagreement has arisen about how widely such evidence is used, how best to regulate against its misuse, and in what, if any, circumstances reliance upon sexual history evidence furthers the interests of justice. Together with Dr Yvette Russell, Prof Conaghan is just completing the first book-length treatment of this contentious issue. In this presentation, she will talk about how the book is conceived, what the analysis has revealed, and how we might approach the regulation of sexual history evidence in the future.
Joanne Conaghan is a Professor of Law at the University of Bristol. She is the author of many publications addressing issues of law and gender, encompassing the fields of labour law, tort, human rights, criminal justice and legal theory. Her monograph on Law and Gender was published by OUP in 2013. Joanne is a Fellow of the British Academy and of Academy of Social Sciences. She was Chair of the Law Subpanel in REF2021.
This public event is being hosted by the School of Law, Ulster University in our new building room BC-07-313 Moot Court Room, York Street, Belfast BT15 1ED. We look forward to seeing you there!
