True. The number of people investigating rape, and the resources provided to them has been drastically reduced. But also:

• There is no prioritisation by management of detections - as long as the investigation is progressed regularly and the risk managed, there's no focus that these investigations actually result in charges

• Despite what has been reported in the media (and to the disappointment of some victims) there is still a default expection by the CPS that a victim's social services records, school records, medical records, and phone download will be reviewed for anything that undermines them

• The CPS are totally unwilling to charge and remand suspects in custody, which significantly increases attrition rates
