The head of the CPS, Max Hill, defends the service. CPS boss defends service as rape convictions plummet despite record numbers of reports ‘The failure to prosecute rape sends a clear message not only about disregarding justice for survivors, but also signals to rapists that they are safe to continue offending,’ says campaigner https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/rape-convictions-sex-fall-cps-max-hill-a9102221.html Weak cases are being scrapped. Supposing the accuser doesn't have a smartphone (like me and many others). Is one's word only believed plus any forensic evidence? The loss of 20,000 police officers can't have helped the situation either.
