<p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) maintains a central record of the outcomes
of completed prosecutions, as a count of the number of defendants finalised, and collates
the data collected by quarter. Each non-conviction (or ‘unsuccessful’) outcome is
allocated a reason, indicating the principal reason the defendant was not convicted.
The CPS also collects data which reports the number of prosecuted defendants allocated
to twelve Principal Offence Categories.</p><p> </p><p>The table below shows the number
of non-convictions due to victim issues by Principal Offence Category in each quarter
from Q3 2018-19 (October to December 2018) to Q4 2019-20 (January to March 2020).</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>
