Sarah Jones – 2021 Comments on the Falling Charge Rate

The comments made by Sarah Jones, the Shadow Policing and Fire Minister, on 5 November 2021.

These new figures confirm again that under the Conservatives, criminals have never had it so good.

It is scandalous that so many crimes are going unsolved, and victims of the most serious crimes are being denied justice.

Labour has a plan that will put victims first by putting police back into our neighbourhoods, improving rape conviction rates and tackling the courts backlog.
