Create a panel that reviews police and prosecution decisions not to proceed
Proposal Summary
Reports of sexual violence often don't proceed to a conviction in the criminal justice system. We should review the decisions being made not investigate, charge or prosecute to understand why.
The Victorian Crime Statistics Agency tells us that sexual offences historically have had higher attrition rates than many other offences. An independent review panel has been suggested by both the VLRC and ALRC to understand why this is and how we change it. Right now, our justice system discourages survivors from seeking justice and hold those who have caused harm accountable.
