Convicting Rapists and Protecting Victims - Justice for Victims of Rape
This consultation paper sets out a range of proposals to improve the outcome of rape cases through further strengthening the existing legal framework and improving our care for victims and witnessses.
Fewer than 6% of rape cases reported to the police ultimately result in a conviction. Increasing conviction rates is vital in terms of crime reduction, both in preventing rapists from committing further offences, and sending a deterrent message to potential offenders.
This consultation is now closed.
