对刑事司法对强奸的反应的关切促使在一系列司法管辖区发展了受害者倡导服务，但关于倡导的性质、意义和价值的研究证据仍然有限。本文借鉴了一项研究，评估了在苏格兰引入的一种创新的倡导模式，以协助向警方报告强奸。对9名受害者的访谈结果强调了独立于法定和刑事司法机构的宣传的重要性。然而，有人认为，这并不能减轻对强奸的刑事司法反应的专业化或改革的需要，而且，在个人和社会一级的倡导之间的区别代表了一种错误的二分法。
Concerns about the criminal justice response to rape have prompted the development of victim advocacy services across a range of jurisdictions, yet research evidence about the nature, meaning and value of advocacy remains limited. This article draws upon a study evaluating an innovative advocacy model introduced in Scotland to assist reporting rape to the police. Findings from interviews with nine victims highlight the importance of advocacy that is independent of statutory and criminal justice agencies. However, it is argued that this does not mitigate the need for specialization or reform in the criminal justice response to rape and, further, that the distinction between advocacy at an individual and societal level represents a false dichotomy.
