Conviction rate increases
"Whatever the crime the decision to charge a suspect is important to the alleged offender, the victim(s), any witnesses and the community. The best model is one where volume crime is dealt with speedily and efficiently. A telephone approach is good for that and allows us to deploy resources for face-to-face consultations with the police in complex and contested cases where it really is necessary. The most important thing is that the right person is charged with the right offence at the right time." – Keir Starmer, DPP
