For anyone interested in UK law and in particular the parlous effect of successive cuts on our justice system, I can heartily recommend this book:
The Secret Barrister: Stories of the Law and How It’s Broken
Here is an excerpt from the chapter which exposes the increasing number of false complaints:
But there will be cases where there is simply no other approach than to firmly and clearly put to a witness: you are lying. And to make them relive every second of the events they describe so that you can clinically and decisively shred every sentence they deliver, building to a closing speech where you publicly implore a jury to reject the complainant as a liar.
