520			_aThis essay discusses a study that involved 48 qualitative interviews with New Zealand women who were victims of rape and sexual assault. The focus of the research was on women's needs and police responses to the women's reports of rape. Three issues were highlighted by the researcher: women need to be believed; they need to be treated with respect; and they need to retain some degree of control over proceedings. The researcher concludes that, while overall there is a positive impression of police responses to rape, and police are often efficient in solving the crime, there is a need to find a better balance between police efficiency and the quality of the service they provide to victims of rape.
