Title: Understanding the Progression of Serious Cases through the Criminal Justice System: Evidence Drawn from a Selection of Casefiles

Summary: There is wide interest in understanding how cases progress through the Criminal Justice System (CJS). This project was commissioned to improve understanding of attrition for serious offences, in order to inform future policy development. The project focused on four serious offences: rape, sexual assault, grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent and GBH without intent. A random sample of 1,149 casefiles from eight police force areas was collated and a database was compiled using information that was present in the casefiles. This report summarises some initial findings in relation to the criminal justice process from allegation to outcome, re-grading of offences, decision making at key stages, false allegations and the circumstance of victims and suspects.
