The Criminal Justice Joint Inspection (CJJI) has today, Friday 25 February 2022, published a report on how well the criminal justice system serves survivors of rape. Today’s publication is the second part of a two-part inspection which considered what the barriers are to the progression of rape reports in the criminal justice system following charge.

Max Hill QC, Director of Public Prosecutions said: “We know victims of sexual offences can suffer lasting trauma, and too often their experience of the criminal justice system adds to their suffering. The CPS is committed to making the changes needed so that more victims see justice.

Victims should prioritise their well-being and not delay receiving therapy for any reason connected with a police investigation or prosecution the CPS has said.

‘Leaving no stone unturned’ to transform the way rape prosecutions are handled is key to helping more victims see justice, the Director of Public Prosecutions has said today.

Rape is a truly devastating and life-changing crime. Victims of this most invasive abuse can suffer lasting trauma, and too often their experience of the criminal justice system adds to their suffering. I am determined to change that.
