They Got Away With Rape

Reviews argue that rape convictions are too low. There is a rush to tighten up the laws, to make it easier to convict.

Do you think this is right? A criminal conviction must be founded on hard cogent evidence, proved by the Prosecution beyond a reasonable doubt.

This is a cornerstone of English law and our freedom.

Convictions for rape run at 34% compared with 61% for other violent crime. This is no excuse for making it easier to convict the accused.

There is enormous sympathy for women in this situation, but men have rights too and miscarriages of justice continue to happen.

Rape is unique in that it furnishes motive for making up stories, proved by thousands of false complaints.

Should rape convictions be made easier?
