Policing consent: seduction, lies, and the limits of rape law
Zoe Brereton |
TEDxUQ
• July 2018
Content warning: contains sexual themes and descriptions of sexual violence. Interested in how culture shapes concepts such as consent and autonomy, Zoe Brereton spent 12 months in India conducting socio-legal research into police investigations of crimes against women, and particularly the tendency for women who report rape to be viewed as false complainants. Examining the development of the Indian doctrine of ‘rape by fraud’ as a case study, Zoe’s talk brings forward the discussion of how we value consent looking through a cultural lens.
