This stands in the way of justice and constitutes an additional wrong; according to one victim, not being believed by the police \u2018was almost worse than the rape itself\u2019. In light of this, many have called for a \u2018right to be believed\u2019. But how can this be reconciled with the principle of \u2018innocent until proven guilty\u2019? And when, if at all, do we have a right that someone should believe our testimony? In this discussion, a philosopher, a barrister, and a legal theorist debate these questions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Speakers<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.law.leeds.ac.uk\/people\/staff\/ellison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Louise Ellison<\/a><br \/>\nProfessor of Law, University of Leeds<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.institutnicod.org\/membres\/membres-permanents\/origgi-gloria\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gloria Origgi<\/a><br \/>\nResearcher, Institut Jean Nicod, CNRS, Paris<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.2bedfordrow.co.uk\/barrister\/stephen-vullo-qc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stephen Vullo QC<\/a><br \/>\nCriminal Barrister<\/p>\n<p>Chair<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/peter-dennis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peter Dennis<\/a><br \/>\nFellow, Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method,\u00a0LSE &amp; Fellow, Forum for Philosophy<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Recorded on 16 May 2016 at the LSE<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a class=\"button\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/ac\/ERKS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Subscribe to the podcast<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Louise Ellison,\u00a0Gloria Origgi, and\u00a0Stephen Vullo discuss whether the principle of innocent until proven guilty can be reconciled with believing the victims of sexual offences<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1169,"featured_media":10778,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_expiration-date-status":"","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[]},"categories":[109,165],"tags":[],"coauthors":[153],"class_list":["post-10810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcast","category-from-the-vaults"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/files\/2020\/05\/4msb.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6zUjQ-2Om","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1169"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10810"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10810\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13761,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10810\/revisions\/13761"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10810"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=10810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
