So, looking at stats for England and Wales about 80% of homicide incidents result in one or more suspects being charged and a small number of those end up being acquitted (though it often takes some time for people to be charged). I guess that counts as significantly fewer, but wasn’t the impression I got from my initial reading of your post.
- pmyteh 5y agoYes; there are also a significant number of guilty pleas. They obviously vastly reduce trial time, though not the cost of investigation etc.
- Retric 5y ago80% of incidents, but each incident can have multiple victims. 2020 for example had one unfortunate case of 39 people being found dead in a truck relating to human trafficking. Anyway here’s Criminal court statistics up to 2019 that’s showing real downwards trends. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/812556/ccsq-bulletin-q1-2019.pdf https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...
