Rape is not some figment of our imagination. Yet, criminal systems often fail to acknowledge the facts of the matter in rape cases. Only 1.3% of the recorded rape offences in England and Wales ended in a charge or summons (House of Commons Committee, 2022). Evidentiary systems are equipped to consider, e.g., the value of a suspect's fingerprints on a murder weapon as evidence of their guilt. However, evidence-based accounts of rape often seem distorted. The project aims to explore rape fact-finding. I intend to propose a novel epistemic theory that can assess evidence-collection procedures in rape cases.

强奸不是我们想象中的虚构。然而，刑事系统往往不承认强奸案中的事实。在英格兰和威尔士，只有1.3%的记录在案的强奸罪以指控或传票告终（下议院委员会，2022年）。证据系统应考虑，例如，凶器上嫌疑犯的指纹作为犯罪证据的价值然而，对强奸的循证描述似乎经常被歪曲。该项目旨在探索强奸实况调查。我打算提出一种新的认识论，可以评估强奸案件的证据收集程序。
