What was disclosed
The CPS supplied 24 quarters of CPS management information, from January–March 2020 to October–December 2025. The latter quarter records 2,357 pre-charge receipts, 1,357 charges, a supplied charge rate of 79.0% and mean time to charge of 166.2 days.
Definitions
Receipts count suspects. The charge rate is charges divided by legal decisions; it is not charges divided by receipts in the same quarter. The time measure includes both police and CPS time, including further submissions, for suspects receiving a charging decision. Quarterly receipts and charges are not a matched cohort.
Source limitations
The figures are provisional administrative management information, not official crime statistics. Rape flags are applied at case level and may relate to only one suspect or offence. They must not be treated as the proportion of all police rape reports resulting in charge.
Extraction
