Where they diverge
-
The scope of the changes and the reasons behind them.
- The Guardian: The changes are designed to encourage more survivors to come forward, and victims of rape and serious sexual offences had felt let down by the justice system for too long, with prosecution rates for rape remaining “shamefully low”.
- BBC News: Victims will have a private entrance and a private waiting room to separate them from defendants.
