I'm just catching up on the most recent crime outcomes data, published by the Home Office in July. Here charge rates for rapes recorded in each of the last 5 financial years. Each year better than the previous one, and on track for 5%+. Big step up in 2022/23. #crimestats

Great work @metpoliceuk #OperationSoteriaBluestone
A dedicated investigation from local officers with specialist support results in a man being convicted for breaching his Sexual Risk Order. Sada Adem was caught trying to coerce a woman into his car in Knightsbridge, as part of a pattern of offending. https://t.co/LOM0vVKqvn

Investigating officers PC Rosie Murrell and DC Fiona Currey said: "Sutton has selfishly destroyed a family. No sentence can make up for the devastating damage he has caused, nor can it take away the pain and suffering Sutton inflicted on the victim and her family."

Short thread here from a prosecuting barrister clarifies that there should have been no impact on charging decisions from the recent action, which didn't relate to prosecution work and in any case only impacted on cases already in the court system
@gmhales This makes no sense for a number of reasons: No strike by barristers would affect whether or not the police seek charging advice from the CPS, or whether the CPS authorise charges.

'Rape victims waiting almost six months for suspect to be charged' Why would the delay to charging decisions be related to the barristers' strike - rather than e.g. increased numbers of rapes referred to CPS for a charging decision? https://t.co/wlULZd6etP

January may be racing by but it’s #throwbackthursday so we thought we’d take a moment to reflect on last year. From recruiting new officers to taking almost 1 million calls in our control centre - it was a busy year for us in Avon and Somerset. Watch the video to see more ⬇️

I’ve reported on the collapse in #rape prosecutions - and its devastating impact on victims’ lives- for years. Seeing the work @aspsarah_crew is leading in the police has given me some hope that things could change - if that work is allowed to continue
