'Political and Social Persepctives on Rape' With Jenny Lumsden-Gordon Jenny is a Therapist with the Sandwell Rape Crisis Centre
This symposia will examine the Sexual Offences Act 2003 and the legal definitions of Rape and Sexual Assault. Jenny will talk about how the myths and facts that surround these issues impact on the juridical system and the low levels of conviction. She will consider how society views and depicts this crime, what the reality is and will look at current campaigns - both in the UK, from the Home Office, and from abroad. She will also present a sociological theory as to why rape happens.
