Symp (S22): Factors affecting legal outcomes in sexual violence cases Room 5.05 (Level 5) Chair: Hayley J. Cullen Being a victim of sexual violence is unfortunately not an uncommon experience. In Australia, 22% of women and 6.1% of men have experienced sexual violence since the age of 15 (ABS, 2023). What is additionally concerning is that there is increased attrition in sexual violence cases as they progress through the criminal justice system (BOCSAR, 2024). First, many victim-survivors do not come forward to report the incident(s) to authorities for a variety of reasons. If they do come forward, only a small proportion of cases proceed to trial, and of those that involve a trial, the conviction rates are lower than for other types of crimes. Therefore, it is important to understand how to improve victim-survivor access to justice by investigating the factors that impact legal outcomes across each of the stages of the process. In this symposium, we present empirical studies that explore the role of various factors on the information provided by victim-survivors during investigative interviews with police, as well as the decisions reached by jurors in sexual violence trials. These empirical studies employ mock-witness and mock-juror paradigms to increase experimental control and to ensure the safety of research participants. Through the research presented in this symposium, we hope to contribute to ongoing discussions about the most appropriate ways for the criminal justice system to respond to matters of sexual violence.
Looking forward to chairing and presenting in this symposium this morning at #SASP2024 on factors affecting legal outcomes in sexual violence cases. 👩⚖️⚖️ A shout out to my wonderful colleagues and co-presenters who are not on BlueSky (...yet...): Ruichun (Dora) Zhang and Faye Nitschke! 🌟

My short talk at #SASP2024 today will revisit the keynote I gave at EAWOP last year on 25 Years of the Social Identity Approach to Psychology in Organizations, focusing on the proven value of the approach in the context of COVID-19.
