7. Difficulties Experienced in Legal Practice

CONCLUSION The police service has not always approached the difficult subject of sexual offence investigations in a sensitive way. Some of the less acceptable police practices have mostly been eradicated by the policy changes introduced over the last decade, but victims still encounter gross insensitivity elsewhere in the justice system if they wish to see their assailant brought to justice. The Metropolitan Police is in the middle of a major policy review of sexual offence investigations. Without doubt the most difficult area of sexual offence investigation is identifying the false complainant. The reasons for such allegations are not well understood. New policies and improved training have gone a long way to help police officers differentiate between the false and the genuine, but more research is needed before a scientifically valid means of discrimination is available. Until then it would be better for all criminal justice practitioners to err on the side of caution in attributing the label 'false' to any allegation of rape. We must all do what we can to make sure that improvements to the treatment of witnesses are introduced throughout the whole criminal justice system. Only then will genuine victims face less of an ordeal and those who make false allegations get the support they deserve.
