The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) maintains both a central record of defendants in cases flagged as rape or domestic abuse and, additionally, the number whose principal offence at finalisation was categorised as a sexual offence other than rape.<\/p>

These data can be disaggregated with reference to a series of \u2018age bands\u2019 based on the defendant\u2019s date of birth at the time their proceeding was registered onto the CPS\u2019 digital case management system (CMS). It is not possible to separately report the individual ages within each band.<\/p>

Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) cases are not prosecuted exclusively by self-employed advocates or in-house advocates. Many cases are transferred between self-employed and in-house advocates and therefore it is not possible to report on the number or proportion of cases prosecuted solely by one type of advocate or the other.<\/p>

However, the CPS does record the proportion of work undertaken across the 13 CPS Areas in the Crown Court by self-employed advocates by value, in accordance with the graduated fee scheme (GFS). CPS records show:<\/p>
