<p dir="ltr">In the UK, 1 in 10 men report experiencing rape or non-consensual penetration. This project investigated, for the first time in the context of England and Wales, the relationship between juror characteristics (attitudes, experiences, traits) and verdict decisions in a case of male rape. We partnered with Avon and Somerset Constabulary, the Crown Prosecution Service, and We are Survivors to run a series of highly realistic mock rape trials, with a RASSO ticketed judge, experienced barristers, and professional actors, to better understand this issue.</p>
