answer text <table><tbody><tr><td><p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not hold any data which shows the number of suspects charged with the offence of rape. However, management information is held showing the number of suspects charged, by sex, flagged as involving allegations of rape where the CPS authorised a charge and a prosecution has commenced in each of the last three years ending March 2022. The table below shows the number of decisions to charge, in rape flagged cases by the sex of suspects, where this has been identified. <table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>2019-2020</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2020-2021</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2021-2022</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Female</p></td><td><p>22</p></td><td><p>41</p></td><td><p>24</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Male</p></td><td><p>1,831</p></td><td><p>1,905</p></td><td><p>2,179</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"><p>Data Source: CPS Case Management Information System</p></td></tr></tbody></table>Decisions to charge are where CPS is satisfied that the legal test for prosecution, set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors is met: there is enough evidence to provide a ‘realistic prospect of conviction’ against each defendant and the prosecution is in the public interest.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
