This flag is applied at the onset of any case referred by the police to the CPS for a charge of rape and remains in place even if the charge is not proceeded with, is amended, or dropped. If a case is referred by the police for a charge other than rape, but subsequently a charge of rape is preferred, the flag is applied at that point.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The tables below show the number of completed prosecutions and convictions in cases where a flag for rape has been added, from 1 April 2006 to the end of September 2015 by quarter. The data provided in the table is in financial quarters.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The CPS\u2019 CMS was introduced during 2004-2005. A national monitoring flag to manage cases where rape offences were referred or later charged was introduced from 1 April 2006. As with any new monitoring system, some variance is expected in the periods immediately following the introduction of a new flagging process.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>\u2018Total completed prosecutions\u2019 refer to the conclusion of a prosecution case against a defendant such as conviction after trial, guilty plea, acquittal, or the prosecution against the defendant being dropped.

We apologised at the time for this and committed to delivering real improvements to transform support for victims, and working with the police and the CPS to more than double the number of adult rape cases being charged and reaching court by the end of this Parliament.<\/p><p>Since June 2021, we have made significant progress in delivering actions to change the system for the better. Whilst the majority of actions are on track and have been delivered in the timescales we intended, there is much work still to do to ensure that the actions are having the impact they need to.<\/p><p>We are committed to going further and pushing harder on our actions so that we can drive bigger impacts, deliver wider system change and crucially, deliver justice for victims of rape and sexual abuse. We are:<\/p><ul><li>Establishing suspect-focused rape investigations \u2013 known as Operation Soteria \u2013 across five police forces, and will expand this to 14 more by September, with a national rollout completed by June 2023.<\/li><li>Expanding pre-recorded cross-examination (Section 28) for victims of sexual violence and modern slavery in Crown Courts nationwide \u2013 with this vital measure now available in almost half of all Crown Courts (37 locations). The Government is committed to rolling it out nationwide by September.<\/li><li>Expanding support for victims. This includes creating a national 24/7 support line for victims of rape and sexual abuse, so that every victim can access support whenever and wherever they need it. We are using additional ringfenced funding to increase the number of Independent Sexual and Domestic Violence Advisors (ISVAs and IDVAs) by 300, to over 1000 by 2024/25 - a 43 percent increase over the next three years.<\/li><li>Publishing the CJS delivery data dashboard quarterly for adult rape which brings together local data from across the system in one place for the first time, allowing us to increase transparency, increase understanding of the justice system and support collaboration, especially at a local level.<\/li><li>Announcing a pilot of enhanced specialist sexual violence support in the Crown Court. This is aimed squarely at doing better by rape victims, giving them the support they need to stay engaged in the process and get the justice they deserve.<\/li><\/ul><p>These actions are starting to have an impact on the system, though there is still more progress to be made:<\/p><ul><li>Rape cases referred by the police to the CPS have increased in the last quarter of 2021 by 76% from the quarterly average in 2019, when the Rape Review was commissioned.<\/li><li>Rape cases charged by the CPS in the last quarter of 2021 have also increased by 38% from the quarterly average in 2019.<\/li><li>Rape convictions are increasing: there was a 67% increase in the number of people convicted for rape offences between 2020 and 2021.<\/li><\/ul><p>The average number of days for adult rape from CPS charge to the case being completed continued to fall by 38 days \u2013 roughly 5 weeks - since the peak in June 2021 \u2013 down from 457 days to 419 in October - December 2021.<\/p>"}
