The Whole Story - Investigating Sexual Crime - Truth, Lies and the Path to Justice

Informationen zum Autor Dr Patrick Tidmarsh is a leading authority on sexual offending and the investigation of sexual crime. He trains and lectures all over the world, helping police and other professionals to understand sexual offending, and improve their response to both victims and offenders. He developed the Whole Story method of investigating sexual crimes, a groundbreaking initiative designed to combat victim-blaming, which earned him the Victoria Police Medal for Merit, for services to victims of sexual crime. Zusammenfassung A leading criminologist draws on over 30 years' experience working with sex offenders to propose a new way of understanding sexual crimes The prevalence of sex crimes has become one of the most urgent, and most widely misunderstood, subjects of our times. We are living through a sea change in our attitudes to sex crimes, yet we continue to get things badly wrong in the way we respond to them. Drawing on over 30 years' experience, Patrick Tidmarsh argues that we need to find a new way to understand, investigate and talk about these crimes. He invites us all to question our own prejudices and assumptions - about both victims and perpetrators - and to question the social, criminal, and judicial systems that mean most victims still stay silent, and so few sexual offenders are held to account. Written with calm authority, insight and sensitivity, The Whole Story reveals the shocking reality of sexual crimes today and offers an urgent roadmap for change.
