Rape Crisis-
Offenders have been getting away with it..

Only 15% of serious sexual offences against people 16 and over are reported to the police and of the rape offences that are reported, fewer than 6% result in an offender being convicted of this offence. This means that those who commit these very serious crimes may continue to pose a risk to the public.

Genre Research

Personally, I find that the film fits best into the genre of a psychological drama, fitting with the following description, taken from starpulse.com;

In Hollywood, psychological drama is usually used as an approach, merging with other larger genres that stress mental struggles over the physical.

The film I have researched that is similar to ours, The Accused, is classed as a drama by uk.rottentomatoes.com, showing that I am on the right track in classing the project as a psychological drama.
