Rape convictions lowest since records compiled

Figures seen by the BBC also show the number of suspects charged with rape or another offence has also fallen, from 2,822 in 2017/18 to 1,758 in 2018/19.Of those, 2,201 cases resulted in a conviction - although some would be for investigations started in previous years.

These figures confirm a trend that's been evident for several years: In spite of an all-time record number of allegations of rape, prosecutions and convictions are in dramatic decline.Campaigners from End Violence Against Women claim CPS lawyers have quietly changed their approach, no longer building rape prosecutions, but screening cases out if they think a jury will not convict.

It explains the drop by saying that it is getting fewer rape referrals from police and that cases are more complex because of digital evidence and the demands to disclose material to the defence.

I would have more sympathy if there was no anonymity and that there are details of actual cases that have been incorrectly ruled on. The fact that the proportion of convictions does not match the reported number, simply implies that 'justice with evidence' is prevailing!

A result of all those people who make false claims. They believe the only person they are harming is the person who they are accusing but that isn’t the case. It is impacting everyone who becomes a victim of rape as it makes it harder for them to be believed.

Pathetic reporting. Deliberately confusing the attrition rate with the conviction rate so that you can use the ridiculous 3‰ number and willfully mislead the public. The underlying assumption of this article is that all the claims are true - pure propaganda.

The cps said they could not continue with the case as I’d smoked cannabis and have cptsd (caused by the rape) so I would not be a reliable witness as there were too many blanks even though family court said they had done it on a balance of probability.

20,000 Less Police Officers in UK to investigate serious crimes is bound to have consequences for victims

VictimSupport The person who raped me got away with it.....

As usual nothing mentioned about the phenomenal number of falseallegstions included in these figures.

Not at all surprised. Victims are assumed to be lying and even when they are believed, male judges say, 'Well, if you are unconscious around a man, you must expect to be raped.'

😟👎

Women afraid to report and men afraid to date! Well done PJW

It's a money thing. The Crown Prosecution Service has had their budget cut by 25%.

Requires to be finished for ever.

Because it basically comes down to the victims word against the attacker. And that's if the victim comes forward.

So much for feminism.

That’s convictions not the actuality .

Yep, and it is destroying people’s lives their recovery and their trust in law.

Hurray for skewed statistics!

Of course - Neo-socialist political correctness and multiculturalism keeps silencing the victims and protecting the rape gangs, rapists and pedophiles.
