Specialist sex crime courts in Scotland could be jury free

I agree with everything you're saying, and would even go further to say that women are not treated well enough by the police when they come forward, the police don't (or can't) put enough resources into sex crimes, and that the justice system is fucked up, in this instance at the expense of women.

I'm perfectly happy to believe it's <0.1% of claims, but I would like a source. The person I responded to said something along the lines of 'false claims are only something rape apologists talk about to disguise the fact that they want the perpetrator to go free' and on the surface, that sounds reasonable, especially if the incidence is so low, but I would like a source.
