Request
For the most recent month available I would like the following statistics for London:
1. Rapes reported;
2. Rapes charged (I understand these will largely refer to different cases from part 1 of this request).
Response
The MOPAC Violent Crime Dashboard has offence and detection data for rape offences – This dashboard is updated monthly : https://data.london.gov.uk/mopac-pcp-dashboard/violence-is-prevented-an….
You may also wish to visit the Metropolitan Police Service Dashboard for additional offence and detection data for rape offences: https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/metropolitan.police.service/viz/…. The raw data for this is published on the London DataStore: https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/mps-monthly-crime-dahboard-data.
MOPAC does not hold information on the number of rape offences charged. However you may wish to visit the Home Office recorded crime and outcomes data tables – This contains data on both crime and outcomes of rape offences (% charged etc.): https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-recorded-crime-open-dat…
