Abstract

Low conviction rates and poor victim‐survivor experiences are the hallmarks of the permacrisis in the police investigation of rape. This article highlights the problems and discusses the way forward as proposed by Operation Soteria Bluestone, a police‐academic collaboration aimed at transformational change in the police response to rape.
