Postcode lottery of rape conviction

Postcode lottery of rape conviction

Women who report a rape are five times less likely to see their attacker convicted in some parts of the country than in others, according to new research.

An analysis of official figures reveals that the conviction rate for rapists fell in 18 out of 43 police force areas in England and Wales between 2004 and 2006.

In Leicestershire, fewer than one in 35 women who report a rape see a successful prosecution, but in Cleveland that figure improves to one in seven.

The number of convictions is below 10% in most regions.
