HMICFRS/HMCPSI have today [17 July 2019] published a joint report into the work of the police, and the CPS, in relation to Crimes Against Older People (CAOP).
The CPS understands the serious nature of crimes against older people. We recognise that older people can experience a wide and complex range of criminal offences. We are committed to ensuring that justice is delivered for older people through the effective prosecution of offences committed against them and by providing tailored support to older victims and witnesses throughout the criminal justice process.
