Charity Victim Support said the rise in sexual offences comes as victims' faith in the criminal justice system is failing and urged the police and Crown Prosecution Service to"do better and start delivering justice".
It was also up 22 per cent compared with the year ending March 2020, prior to the coronavirus pandemic - crime levels were greatly reduced during the lockdown periods. "Charges for rape and sexual offences have been falling sharply for the past six years – the system is in crisis. We are on a path to destroying victims’ faith in the criminal justice system all together.
Meghan Elkin, from the ONS, said police-recorded crime figures are a"better indicator of police activity", rather than a reliable insight into crime trends. Police recorded figures, which only include the crimes logged by the police, show 5.5 million crimes were recorded in the year to September – 13% up on the 4.9 million logged the year before.Tiff Lynch, deputy national chair at the Police Federation of England and Wales, said the rise in crime means"the safety and welfare" of police officers is at risk.
