Rape and sexual violence are devastating crimes and the Government is committed to ensuring that every victim has access to the specialist support they need. We expect every report of sexual violence and rape to be treated seriously from the time it is reported, every victim to be treated with dignity, and every investigation and prosecution to be conducted thoroughly and professionally.We are deeply concerned by drops in criminal justice outcomes for rape cases, which is why we are conducting a thorough end-to-end review into the criminal justice response to rape. This review will inform a cross-system Action Plan which will seek to reverse this trend and we have committed to publish this later this year.The Government is providing £32 million in funding until 2022. This includes £4 million for rape support centres, and £1 million for recruiting more Independent Sexual Violence Advisers. This additional funding forms part of a Rape Victims’ Pledge to make rape victims’ engagement with the criminal justice system simpler and less distressing through providing targeted information and support.Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) areas with Government-funded male support centres have nearly quadrupled from 11 in 2018/19 to 41 from 2019/20. This support is in addition to the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) funded National Male Rape support helpline (Safeline) and Male Rape Support webchat service (Survivors UK). The Home Office provides specific funding to male victims of rape via Survivors Manchester through the £150,000 National Sexual Violence Support Fund.MoJ have also provided £68 million to PCCs in 2019/20 to commission victim support services based on local need, including additional support for victims of sexual violence and abuse, which includes male victims.

The Home Office does not centrally hold the information requested.From April 2017 the Home Office requested information on a voluntary basis from the police on the number of individuals released on pre-charge bail, broken down by bail length. Data, from a subset of 17 forces, were published as ‘Experimental statistics’ in the latest edition of the ‘Police powers and procedures’ statistical bulletin, available here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/751215/police-powers-procedures-mar18-hosb2418.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/751215/police-powers-procedures-mar18-hosb2418.pdf</a>The data were collected on a mandatory basis from April 2018 and are intended for publication in the next edition of the release, scheduled for October 2019.However, information on the specific offence are not collected, nor are data on cases which resulted in a person being released under investigation.

Rape is one of the most complex and challenging offences to prosecute and charging decisions have a profound impact on those involved. The CPS has undertaken extensive work over the last decade to ensure that when reaching prosecution decisions specialist prosecutors are fully equipped to deal with the particular complexities of rape cases.While the CPS does not hold a record of the number of complaints of rape to the police, we can provide data on the number of rape prosecutions and convictions recorded by the CPS system.The table below provides the volume of rape prosecutions broken down by CPS Area.<table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td>2010-2011</td><td>2011-2012</td><td>2012-2013</td><td>2013-2014</td><td>2014-2015</td><td>2015-2016</td><td>2016-2017</td><td>2017-2018</td></tr><tr><td>Cymru Wales</td><td>278</td><td>224</td><td>233</td><td>257</td><td>276</td><td>217</td><td>251</td><td>230</td></tr><tr><td>Eastern</td><td>212</td><td>239</td><td>201</td><td>224</td><td>266</td><td>298</td><td>275</td><td>226</td></tr><tr><td>East Midlands</td><td>293</td><td>311</td><td>278</td><td>252</td><td>271</td><td>277</td><td>320</td><td>383</td></tr><tr><td>London North</td><td>495</td><td>352</td><td>349</td><td>376</td><td>414</td><td>368</td><td>430</td><td>365</td></tr><tr><td>London South</td><td>366</td><td>316</td><td>318</td><td>354</td><td>397</td><td>366</td><td>416</td><td>357</td></tr><tr><td>Merseyside & Cheshire</td><td>142</td><td>135</td><td>127</td><td>120</td><td>143</td><td>176</td><td>243</td><td>202</td></tr><tr><td>North East</td><td>220</td><td>227</td><td>199</td><td>194</td><td>214</td><td>229</td><td>285</td><td>289</td></tr><tr><td>North West</td><td>478</td><td>459</td><td>455</td><td>454</td><td>556</td><td>557</td><td>601</td><td>469</td></tr><tr><td>South East</td><td>299</td><td>277</td><td>236</td><td>260</td><td>328</td><td>348</td><td>440</td><td>288</td></tr><tr><td>South West</td><td>222</td><td>257</td><td>300</td><td>288</td><td>287</td><td>306</td><td>296</td><td>310</td></tr><tr><td>Thames and Chiltern</td><td>202</td><td>203</td><td>181</td><td>204</td><td>266</td><td>269</td><td>303</td><td>187</td></tr><tr><td>Wessex</td><td>197</td><td>161</td><td>174</td><td>207</td><td>221</td><td>200</td><td>184</td><td>118</td></tr><tr><td>West Midlands</td><td>396</td><td>323</td><td>338</td><td>346</td><td>398</td><td>506</td><td>644</td><td>553</td></tr><tr><td>Yorkshire & Humberside</td><td>408</td><td>380</td><td>303</td><td>355</td><td>499</td><td>526</td><td>502</td><td>540</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>4,208</td><td>3,864</td><td>3,692</td><td>3,891</td><td>4,536</td><td>4,643</td><td>5,190</td><td>4,517</td></tr></tbody></table>Data Source: CPS Case Management Information System The following table provides a breakdown by CPS Area of the volume of rape convictions. <table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td>2010-2011</td><td>2011-2012</td><td>2012-2013</td><td>2013-2014</td><td>2014-2015</td><td>2015-2016</td><td>2016-2017</td><td>2017-2018</td></tr><tr><td>Cymru Wales</td><td>146</td><td>140</td><td>135</td><td>149</td><td>150</td><td>115</td><td>139</td><td>140</td></tr><tr><td>Eastern</td><td>145</td><td>165</td><td>136</td><td>142</td><td>165</td><td>167</td><td>169</td><td>142</td></tr><tr><td>East Midlands</td><td>166</td><td>208</td><td>188</td><td>174</td><td>186</td><td>179</td><td>208</td><td>231</td></tr><tr><td>London North</td><td>258</td><td>191</td><td>187</td><td>208</td><td>217</td><td>197</td><td>232</td><td>187</td></tr><tr><td>London South</td><td>190</td><td>179</td><td>180</td><td>173</td><td>183</td><td>197</td><td>231</td><td>177</td></tr><tr><td>Merseyside & Cheshire</td><td>82</td><td>77</td><td>90</td><td>90</td><td>96</td><td>100</td><td>138</td><td>114</td></tr><tr><td>North East</td><td>144</td><td>128</td><td>126</td><td>112</td><td>108</td><td>125</td><td>156</td><td>167</td></tr><tr><td>North West</td><td>298</td><td>288</td><td>283</td><td>274</td><td>295</td><td>342</td><td>370</td><td>266</td></tr><tr><td>South East</td><td>165</td><td>177</td><td>151</td><td>155</td><td>187</td><td>175</td><td>232</td><td>159</td></tr><tr><td>South West</td><td>154</td><td>175</td><td>198</td><td>182</td><td>166</td><td>194</td><td>181</td><td>213</td></tr><tr><td>Thames and Chiltern</td><td>111</td><td>125</td><td>112</td><td>123</td><td>157</td><td>162</td><td>162</td><td>111</td></tr><tr><td>Wessex</td><td>105</td><td>110</td><td>117</td><td>108</td><td>90</td><td>99</td><td>133</td><td>78</td></tr><tr><td>West Midlands</td><td>240</td><td>200</td><td>227</td><td>226</td><td>263</td><td>309</td><td>345</td><td>311</td></tr><tr><td>Yorkshire & Humberside</td><td>261</td><td>251</td><td>203</td><td>232</td><td>318</td><td>328</td><td>295</td><td>339</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>2,465</td><td>2,414</td><td>2,333</td><td>2,348</td><td>2,581</td><td>2,689</td><td>2,991</td><td>2,635</td></tr></tbody></table>Data Source: CPS Case Management Information System
