MoJ data for all cases in 2018 report figures of between 185 days and 193 days for offence to completion<\/p> <\/p> The time taken from referral to finalisation has increased for all crime types. This is due to greater complexity and the increase in electronic material for the police, CPS and courts to consider. In addition the Police are now encouraged to seek early investigative advice more often and in particular in serious, sensitive or complex cases. Early investigative advice helps to ensure that cases are thoroughly investigated and the evidence to be brought before the court is strong. With the increase in early investigative advice, CPS is more often involved at an earlier stage in proceedings.<\/p> <\/p> There has also been an increase in the time taken for a case to pass through the courts which has also impacted on overall timeliness.<\/p>"}
