Achieving just outcomes in rape cases is difficult, but there are ways we can improve the investigation and prosecution of these crimes, now. We outline how targeting variables, within control of the criminal justice system, can improve the quality of information police obtain from interviews with complainants and suspects. We explore how, by preserving these accounts on video, the criminal justice process can better use this information to improve effective decision making from investigation through to criminal trial through to prevention.
在强奸案件中实现公正的结果并非易事，但现在我们有办法改进对这些罪行的调查和起诉。我们概述了在刑事司法系统可控范围内针对一些变量如何能提高警方从对投诉人和嫌疑人的询问中获取信息的质量。我们探讨了通过视频保存这些陈述，刑事司法程序如何能更好地利用这些信息，以改进从调查到刑事审判再到预防的有效决策。
