This article presents findings from the largest research study of the nature of mock jury deliberations in rape cases undertaken in the UK to date – and the first such study to be undertaken in the Scottish context. The study found considerable evidence of the expression of problematic attitudes towards rape complainers. These included the belief that a ‘real’ rape victim would have extensive external and internal injuries and would resist attack by inflicting injuries on her attacker and shouting for help, that even a short delay in reporting a rape is suspicious, and that false allegations of rape are commonly made by women and difficult to refute. There was, however, also evidence that some jurors were willing to challenge these attitudes and that they often relied – explicitly or implicitly – on third-sector campaigns to do so. The article concludes by drawing out the implications of this research for policy and practice.

证据的来历：在苏格兰强奸案中对陪审团进行审议（模拟）

本文介绍了迄今为止在英国进行的有关强奸案中模拟陪审团审议性质的最大研究研究的结果，这是在苏格兰进行的首次此类研究。该研究发现大量证据表明对强奸申诉人的态度有问题。其中包括这样的信念，即“真正的”强奸受害者会遭受广泛的外部和内部伤害，并且会通过对袭击者造成伤害并大声呼救来抵制袭击，甚至在短时间内延迟报告强奸行为都是可疑的，以及对以下方面的虚假指控：强奸通常是妇女制造的，很难反驳。但是，也有证据表明，一些陪审员愿意挑战这些态度，并且他们通常明确或隐含地依靠第三部门的运动来这样做。
