Beyond Reasonable Doubt: Britain’s Rape Crisis

Overview

Panorama is on the frontline with Derbyshire Police to investigate why only one per cent of reported rapes in England and Wales results in a conviction. For more than 18 months, the film follows five people who have reported rape and the detectives investigating their cases as they journey through the criminal justice system. They include 'Sam', who says she was raped by a stranger after a night out, and two sisters who say they were repeatedly raped by their father as children and whose case has already been turned down by the Crown Prosecution Service.
