Police working towards best crime outcomes for victims

CC Farrar said:

"We are pleased to see that 93 per cent of all crimes now have a recorded outcome.

"We know that it can be distressing for victims of sexual offences when they are waiting to hear the result of their report to police. These cases are complex and require extensive investigation to ensure that the Crown Prosecution Service has as much evidence as possible to help them make their charging decisions; unfortunately this can take some time.

"Police will continue to work hard to get the best outcome for victims as quickly as we can."
