FOI 13102021-1 – Rape Reports and Convictions

Question

Can I ask for the last two years (2019 and 2020) how many reported rapes there have been? How many of those reported led to a conviction?

 

Can I ask for the total time which police interviewed the victims/alleged victims of the these crimes during this period and the total time which police interviewed suspects/perpetrators?

If the total time of interviews is not possible to obtain, can I ask for the length of ten police interviews of alleged rape victims’ interviews? Can I ask then for the length of ten police interviews of rape suspects?
