Petition Action

Review how sexual offences are recorded, investigated and prosecuted.

Petition Details

Change how only 1.7% of reported rapes are prosecuted in England and Wales.

Additional Information

Victims of rape are being failed by the Criminal Justice System - New Home Office statistics suggest alleged perpetrators of more than 98 per cent of rapes reported to the police are allowed to go free. This does not take into account the many victims who do not report their assault to the police.

In real terms, the number of sexual offences prosecuted dropped by more than 4,000 in the year, from 14,967 to 10,937, despite sex crimes recorded by police rising by 9 per cent in the same period.

The criminal justice system in England and Wales is failing victims of sexual abuse, rape and all forms of sexual violence

There needs to be an independent review of how sexual offence cases are recorded, investigated and prosecuted in this country
