The Crown Prosecution Service does not maintain a central record of prosecutions against rape complainants for perverting the course of justice and/or wasting police time. Obtaining this information would therefore require a manual review of individual case files which would incur a disproportionate cost.<\/p>

During the period from 1st June 2013 to 30th September 2014, the CPS finalised 168,703 cases with a qualifying decision. This means that 0.16% of cases that would qualify under the scheme resulted in an upheld Appeal.<\/p> The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has developed a number of online e-Learning courses which specifically relate to victims\u2019 issues. These are: The Victims\u2019 Code; Victim Personal Statements; Supporting Vulnerable Victims and Witnesses; The Prosecutors\u2019 Pledge; and Special Measures (three courses: Parts 1-3).<\/p> In addition, victims\u2019 issues are incorporated into training on prosecuting specific types of offending, such as: domestic violence; child sexual abuse; rape and serious sexual assaults; hate crime; stalking and harassment; human trafficking; and forced marriage and honour-based violence.<\/p> The CPS is presently consulting publicly on the draft guidance on prosecutors speaking to victims and witnesses at court, and training will be designed to underpin that guidance once it has been finalised. <\/p>"}
