在一个背景下，研究证据表明高利率的成年人与心理残疾的性侵害，本文利用强奸指控数据收集的大都会警察局在2012年4月和5月，探讨这些类型的投诉人构成的刑事司法系统的一些挑战。虽然可以从这些数据中产生的见解与心理残疾的投诉人是有限的，在这篇文章的背景下，它提供了一个宝贵的快照到当代模式的强奸受害和自然减员在英格兰和威尔士。它也是一个有用的出发点，可以突出强调需要对申诉人的待遇进行更持续的批判性研究和思考，以及警察和检察官在这一领域的培训和做法是否充分。
In a context in which research evidence indicates high rates of alleged sexual victimization among adults with psychosocial disabilities, this article draws upon rape allegation data collected by the Metropolitan Police Service in April and May 2012, to explore some of the challenges that are posed to the criminal justice system by these types of complainants. Although the insights that can be generated from these data in relation to complainants with psychosocial disabilities are limited, in the context of this article it provides a valuable snapshot into contemporary patterns of rape victimization and attrition in England and Wales. It also serves as a useful stepping off point from which to highlight the need for more sustained critical research and reflection on the treatment of complainants, and the adequacy of police and prosecutor training and practice in this area.
