<p>Increasing the number of rape convictions continues to be a priority in the criminal
justice system. On 6 June 2014, a Rape Action Plan was jointly published by the police
and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which sets out a series of actions designed to
improve the criminal justice response in rape cases. This followed a Rape National
Scrutiny Panel led by the Director of Public Prosecutions and the National Policing
lead for rape, which considered the investigation and prosecution of rape cases including
their referral from the police to the CPS. The Action plan can be found on the CPS
website at; <a href="http://www.cps.gov.uk/publications/equality/vaw/rape_action_plan.pdf"
