ABSTRACT

The aim of this paper is to closely examine the role of a female rape victim as she passes through the criminal justice system and associated agencies therein. This paper deals exclusively with female rape as male rape is still relatively a minority offense and information would not have been easily accessible. We have attempted to systematically follow the female rape victim through the processes that she would encounter within the criminal justice framework and beyond, where relevant, to provide a rape victim's view of criminal justice system, British court. The sectionⅡ explained generalisation, categorisation of rape and the rape victim's perspective of her ordeal as her travels through the criminal justice system both historically and currently of aspects of critical points. Next, sectionⅢ is that contents of the role of court personnel within the criminal justice system in relation to their interplay with alleged rape victims and changes of court's response after 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act. Though this research, we could knew about British criminal justice agencies's attitudes, especially British Court, about rape's victims of aspects of critical points. Besides, we have to try to research about both mechanisms of rape's crime and restorative justice's processes about rape's women.
