European Perspectives on Attrition in Sexual Offenses

Many factors contribute to attrition in sexual offense cases from victim reluctance to systemic barriers. This book examines the attrition of sexual offenses across seven countries--Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and T rkiye. Using various jurisdictions and legal systems sheds light on how those systems' distinctive features impact investigation and adjudication. Through the critical analyses of various sexual offenses and statistical data, European Perspectives on Attrition in Sexual Offenses demonstrates how cases continue to attrite through their journey from commencement to the finalization within the European criminal justice systems. This book would be of interest to scholars studying criminology, criminal justice, and law as well as practitioners within the criminal justice and legal professions.
