The article states that only 15% of rapes are reported and a mere 5.7% of those reported lead to a conviction - I think that is a tragic reflection of the way women, who are victims of rape, are perceived and treated in today's society.
Criminal defence lawyers are adept at getting their clients off - why aren't the prosecutors as adept at securing a conviction?
Your views please and I would appreciate serious, rather than flippant answers.
