What Dominic\u2019s research focussed on was a controlled and highly evaluative psychological assessment of jurors in mock rape trials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was as close to real life as could be arranged; it was extensive and the results were clear and definite with no room for ambiguity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All the juries in our rape trials decided the case based on first instincts and existing prejudices. We even gave to some of our juries an extended lesson on rape myths and stereotypes for example, and broadly speaking, the myth that a woman who went back to a man\u2019s flat after a night out is more likely to have wanted to have sexual intercourse with him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe broke the myths down and rationalised why they are myths. Those juries still acted on those myths and stereotypes in their decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Labour MP Ann Coffey put forward a freedom of information request to obtain these shocking statistics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>She suggested the statistics show how juries treat women and the impact of false rape allegations.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/474210778\" id=\"IVFVRFkeQRV2qGuW3qAiig\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'IVFVRFkeQRV2qGuW3qAiig',sig:'qbNlCB44farIdqqsmoG2lM7jnCQ7SaVbAlspk8P8Cu8=',w:'509px',h:'339px',items:'474210778',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src=\"\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\" async=\"\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Catherine White, clinical director of the Sexual Assault Referal Centre&nbsp;(SARC) in Manchester said: \u201cThere are a huge number of barriers for people not reporting sexual violence.
