Fawcett welcomes Rape Complaints Review
Commenting on today’s announcement by the Government of a review of the handling of rape complaints, Sharon Smee, Campaigns and Policy Officer at the Fawcett Society said:
"The Fawcett Society welcomes the Government announcement of a review of the handling of rape complaints. A comprehensive review into the failings of the current system is urgently needed. It is a national scandal that thousands of rape victims have no access to justice, and frequently face a culture of disbelief, delayed responses which may lead to the loss of vital evidence and a lack of support services.
"However, words will need to be followed up with action. The telling fact will be whether the recommendations of the review are followed up with committed and consistent action which results in real cultural change within the criminal justice system."
