Getting the balance right between victim and perpetrator : Comments

By Brendan O'Reilly, published 27/2/2015

Vine recommends that, because of current UK rape laws, Romeo would be well advised to get written consent, and also keep a breathalyser and drug sniffer dog by the bed.

Rhosty, if what you say is true, and this infallible machine can tell us for sure when someone is lying, why isn't it positioned in every court room and police station in the nation then?

Surely such a machine would be worth it's weight in gold?
We wouldn't even need lawyers really would we?
Just a judge to give the sentence....

Craig,

I agree. The way that rape has been re-defined to mean anything from a brutal home invasion and rape of an elderly woman to a woman who maybe had one or two too many to drink and simple regrets her actions has undermined perceptions of rape.

There are so many protections in place for rape victims that if a woman doesn't report 'rape' there must have been enough doubt to suggest it wasn't rape at all. Taking responsibility for your actions is not 'unreported rape'.

Rhosty do you have links to evidence of the claims about thermal imaging for lie/truth detection?

The stuff I've seen looks interesting but no where near conclusive yet.
