Proceeding contribution from Margaret Moran (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 November 2007. It occurred during Debate on Convicting Rapists/Protecting Victims.
Convicting Rapists/Protecting Victims
I commend my hon. and learned Friend for the extensive training throughout the criminal justice system that she has outlined. Is she aware, however, that there is a huge variation in the performance of the various police authorities? My own police authority in Bedfordshire is, sadly, among the worst for tackling domestic violence and rape. Will she ensure that there is greater scrutiny of police forces, as well as greater training, so that we can be assured that there is not a postcode lottery when it comes to the effectiveness of the police's prosecution of these cases?
