Many factors contribute to attrition in sexual offense cases from victim reluctance to systemic barriers. This book examines the attrition of sexual offenses across seven countries—Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and Türkiye. Using various jurisdictions and legal systems sheds light on how those systems' distinctive features impact investigation and adjudication. Through the critical analyses of various sexual offenses and statistical data, European Perspectives on Attrition in Sexual Offenses demonstrates how cases continue to attrite through their journey from commencement to the finalization within the European criminal justice systems. This book would be of interest to scholars studying criminology, criminal justice, and law as well as practitioners within the criminal justice and legal professions.
Sexual offences pose severe violations of human rights that necessitate criminal law intervention in every democratic society. Using a holistic and integrated approach, this book examines sexual offenses through criminal law and criminal procedure within different jurisdictions. Impunity or lenient punishment enjoyed by perpetrators appears as a fundamental concern and contribute to low(er) reporting rates. Attrition, from the perspective of criminal law, is not only caused by issues in criminal procedure, like a lack of victim support or insufficient evidence, but is primarily linked to the definition of sexual offences which is hugely influenced by society, culture, and political power.

This edited collection addresses the obstacles and challenges on prosecuting domestic violence cases effectively as the ECtHR stressed its significance in various landmark judgments such as Opuz v. Turkey, 2009. The perpetrators of domestic violence (and violence against women) may enjoy impunity or receive lenient punishment and this lies as one of the main concerns of victims as well as lack of protection of victims. Just recently, in 2020, the ECtHR highlighted that “violence against women was under-reported, under-investigated, under-prosecuted, and under-sentenced.” (Tërshana v. Albania, para. 156). This is mainly because that ‘domestic violence cases have their challenging featu...
Violence Against Women: International Legal Standards and Trends delves into the international legal framework’s successes and failures in addressing gender-based violence around the globe. Gordana Gasmi examines how international legal standards and principles, enshrined in universal and regional instruments, have influenced the implementation of measures to combat violence against women. While the book addresses shortcomings, it also shines light on the positive transformative capacity of these standards, as evidenced by relevant case law and the practices of international courts and monitoring bodies. Underscoring the need to recognize the severe consequences of violence against women and the importance of promoting gender equality through legal mechanisms, this book is a valuable resource for scholars, academic libraries, experts from NGOs, legal professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the global challenges and legal responses to this pressing issue.

Contributors from across the globe investigate how criminal justice systems grapple with the tension between procedural fairness, institutional efficiency, and the general welfare of the public.

The timely and thought-provoking contributions provide actionable insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to reform criminal justice in ways that serve both principle and practicality.
