N2  - "Of the approximately 50,000 rape cases reported in South Africa every year, only between 4% and 8% end in conviction. To understand the criminal justice system's s failure to adequately deal with sexual violence, one needs to start with the police. This book tells the story of some of the cases reported to the South African Police Service and how they were dealt with." -- Publisher's description: https://books.google.co.za/books/about/Rape_Unresolved.html?id=TLaKrgEACAAJ&redir_esc=y
