Dry Ice by Peter Joyce

THE TRUE STORY OF A FALSE RAPE COMPLAINT
Peter Joyce's settled life was disrupted when a woman he had never met accused him of historic rape. With a unique brand of angry humour, his diary plots the stages of his despair and traces his attempts to find justice in the face of the current insistence that we must believe the victim.

Dry Ice is a compelling memoir, but much more. The accusation made the writer a reluctant expert on similar cases from all over the world. He throws light on everything that limits public knowledge of false sexual allegations, from dangerous counselling to flawed statistics, and he exposes police investigation methods as blinkered, inefficient and insensitive.

Peter Joyce is Visiting Professor in Criminology at Glyndwr University. He is widely published in Criminology and Politics, specializing in policing and the policing of protest. He served as a member of the Independent Police Ethics Committee in the Greater Manchester Police Force Area between 2014 and 2018.

Dr. Wendy Laverick is a senior lecturer in Criminology at Manchester Metropolitan University. She is currently developing an international research profile on transnational crime, hate crime and gender and policing scholarship and is the author of Global Injustice and Crime Control (Routledge, 2016).
