Details

The Rape Review Action Plan commits the Criminal Justice System (CJS) to a conscious reversal in the trends of the last 6 years, more than doubling the number of adult rape cases reaching court by the end of this parliament.

At the heart of our approach is the belief that improvements to the systems will be made through greater transparency and accountability. That is why we committed to providing updates every six months on the progress we have made against the Action Plan, this report outlines the significant progress in delivering actions to change the system for the better.

Whilst we are seeing increases in police referrals, charges, and receipts at the Crown Court, much of the work remains ahead of us. We are determined to push further and faster on our 8 key levers to make the maximum impact, deliver system change and make a real difference for victims of rape in the long-term.
