Cops/Prosecutors in the UK Don't Care about Rape

They never have, but it seems to be getting worse. Government apologises for failing rape victims over plunging conviction levels

Not that it is so much better in the US.

Dame Vera Baird QC said the ministerial apology within its long-awaited Rape Review was a “milestone” which would effectively force the Government to take action, but said the “underwhelming document” did not go far enough.

She also criticised investigators’ continued use of analysing the mobile phones of people who report a rape to police.

They analyse the victim's phone, because if you got raped it must be your fault. So let's look at your phone to see how much of a slut you are.

There were 4,643 rape prosecutions in 2015-16.

Around 13% of reported rape cases in 2015-16 ended in a suspect being charged, but this dropped to just 3% in 2019-20.

There are an estimated 128,000 victims of rape and attempted rape a year, but only 1.6% of reported cases results in a charge, according to latest figures.

• Derby child sex abuse ring
• Bristol child sex abuse ring
• Newcastle child sex abuse ring
• Halifax child sex abuse ring

That is not close to being the total list...

The UK has a long way to go before it has anything like Justice. But they are not really interested in catching and prosecuting rapists. They are more worried about COVID violations, and if you say mean things that might upset someone. Crime? No. Thought Crimes are more in the news. While rapists run free, the constabluary has to put an end to things like fox hunting and Wrong Think.
