<p>Tackling the sexual exploitation of children remains a top priority for the CPS.
Specialist CPS lawyers work closely with police investigators to build strong cases,
resulting in many successful prosecutions of complex grooming cases for example in
Rochdale, Rotherham, Oxford and Newcastle.</p><p> </p><p>The CPS does not maintain
a central record of defendants’ occupations, nor of the specific circumstances under
which a person has been charged with an offence. This information could only be obtained
by an examination of CPS case files, which would incur disproportionate cost. The
CPS collects data to assist the management of its prosecution functions. The CPS does
not collect data that constitutes official statistics as defined in the Statistics
and Registration Act 2007.</p>
