Suspected Rapists Labelled as ‘Females’ in CPS Referrals, Figures Show

Authorities are now urged to adopt stricter, common-sense approaches to gender classification in serious crimes, ensuring records reflect biological reality rather than outdated administrative categories. This highlights the critical need for open data systems to accurately capture demographic variables. Transparent, precise data is essential for effective policing, policy reform, and maintaining public confidence in the justice system’s handling of sexual violence.
