Rape charges, prosecutions and convictions in England and Wales have fallen to their lowest levels in more than a decade.
The steep decline comes as the number of rapes recorded by the police has more than doubled over the past six years.
Figures released by the Crown Prosecution Service show convictions fell from 2,635 in 2017-18 to 1,925 in 2018-19, a drop of 26%. The number of prosecutions completed fell by 32% from 4,517 to 3,034, and the number of rape cases charged by the CPS declined by 37% to 1,758.
