Series 7 | Episode 4
Episode information
Duration: 10:45
Keywords: bias, stereotypes, criminal investigations
In this episode, Clara and Katharina explore how gender bias and the rape myths that result from it, shape the way sexual violence is perceived both in legal contexts, such as criminal proceedings, and in media coverage of rape cases
Stereotypes about the victims behaviour, emotional expression or delayed reporting can greatly influence the way that sexual violence allegations are treated, and this is addressed both in theory as well as through some real-life examples.
