DESCRIPTION:There are serious and long-standing concerns about the experie
 nces of victim-survivors of rape and serious sexual assault within the cri
 minal justice process. These concerns include ‘secondary victimisation
 ’ throughout the criminal justice process (Kelly et al.\, 2005\; Burman\
 , 2009)\, high numbers of cases which do not reach court (Kelly et al.\, 2
 005)\, a ‘culture of scepticism’ leading to an over-estimation of the 
 scale of false allegations (see Kelly et al.\, 2005)\, and a lack of coord
 inated service provision to victims (Feist et al.\, 2007\; Robinson\, 2009
 ). Each of these concerns reveal a challenging landscape for the pursuit o
 f safe and effective routes to justice for survivors of rape and sexual as
 sault. Often lacking in such analyses\, however\, is engagement with victi
 m-survivors to seek their views on their experiences of the criminal justi
 ce process.\n\nThis seminar draws on findings from three related research 
 projects which yielded testimonies uncovering rich and difficult to attain
  data about victim-survivors’ end-to-end experiences of criminal justice
 \, as well as their broader lived experiences\, which come to inform their
  decisions to engage or discontinue in the process. Discussion will focus 
  on the key findings of these projects\, but also on the ways in which the
  research team and the research participants are collaborating to produce 
 a set of narrative accounts and accompanying artwork to illustrate experie
 nces of criminal justice\, offering some insights for creative arts-based 
  practice in criminological research. \n
