- Biography/History:
- Jan Jordan is Emeritus Professor of Criminology at Victoria University of Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. She has spent more than three decades researching sexual violence, with the primary aim of making the voices of women silenced by rape heard by those positioned to facilitate their access to justice. Her books include The word of a woman? Police, rape and belief (Palgrave Macmillan) and Serial survivors: Women's narratives of surviving rape (Federation Press). Her current research, funded by a Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden Award, asks why, despite more than 50 years of feminist action against violence, rape prevalence remains so high and rape justice so elusive.
