Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to highlight concerns about recent CPS guidance on the prosecution of rape and sexual assault cases.

Design/methodology/approach: The paper places the CPS guidance in the wider policy context of concerns about sexual violence on mental health wards.

Findings: The paper concludes that the reported CPS guidance appears to run counter to other policy directives particularly the recent report from the CQC.

Originality/value: The paper is a first response to these issues.
