Violence against Women and Girls: Reform of the Criminal Justice System
- Question
-
What steps his Department is taking to reform the criminal justice system to help tackle violence against women and girls.
- Answer
-
The Government are taking a range of measures to tackle violence against women and girls. The number of convictions in rape cases has increased by two thirds in the last reporting year, but we are restless to do more at every stage of the process from Operation Soteria, linking up police and prosecutors, through to the current national roll-out of pre-recorded evidence in all Crown courts in England and Wales.
