Charlotte Herriott is a Lecturer in Criminology and Policing at Anglia Ruskin University, UK. Charlotte's PhD, on which this book is based, was the first research in England and Wales to examine the impact of sexual history evidence on mock jury deliberations in rape trials. Her current research interests relate to sexual violence, particularly criminal justice responses and sexual violence within the UK armed forces. Charlotte is working with colleagues within ARUs Veterans and Families Institute, examining the service justice system response to sexual offending and exploring military-specific factors which may complicate responses to sexual offending. She teaches on a variety of modules across the criminology programme, focusing mainly on areas of violence, sexual violence, and the criminal justice system.
This book provides an in-depth examination of current, high-profile debates about the use of sexual histló.
