Latest consultation outcomes

On 16 December 2010, Keir Starmer QC, Director of Public Prosecutions, announced a series of measures to strengthen rape prosecutions. One of the key elements was to seek the views of interested parties about the factors the Crown Prosecution Service should consider before charging a person involved in rape or domestic violence allegations with an offence of perverting the course of justice. We drafted Interim Guidance designed to assist prosecutors making decisions in this type of case. We consulted with you to find out what you think about it. The summary of responses and the revised guidance were published on 7 July 2011.
