Abstract
The law surrounding rape and sexual offences has undergone significant reform in Scotland following the introduction of the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009. In recent years, much academic and policy work has radically re-considered sexual offences: how definitions offered by the Act operate in practice, the low conviction and high attrition rates associated with these types of offences and the ongoing difficulties associated with the use of sexual history evidence in criminal trials.
