A super-complaint has been filed against police forces in England and Wales over years-long delays in investigating sexual offences.
More than 37,000 sexual offence investigations have taken longer than three years to conclude over the past decade, campaigners said.
Sexual offence cases taking more than three years to investigate have increased more than sevenfold over the past 10 years, from 533 in 2014-15 to 4,008 in 2024-25, according to freedom of information requests submitted by the organisations to the Home Office and police forces across England and Wales. At the end of March 2025, there were almost 14,000 investigations that had been open for more than three years, the organisations said.
Their research found that investigations lasting between three and four years had increased from 137 cases in 2014-15 to 2,261 cases in 2024-25.
They’re too busy arresting children and pensioners for opposing genocide and supporting Palestine Action.
All resources tied up in ending free speech and democracy at the moment.
That is not enough. They should have gone with a super-duper complaint for this.
What about a super duper mega complaint. That’ll teach them piggies!
So who has the shittiest police?
US: The police are armed like an army and kill people just because?
UK: The police are dipshits that look like Michael Scott from The office runs them?
India: Corrupt, incompetent, and join in on rapes.
As always, ACAB.
You realize that in order to investigate the crimes in a more expedited manner you’d likely need more cops, right?
My problem with the article is at no point did they say how many total sex crimes there were, and how much that number grew during the stated time periods.
Sex crimes are notoriously difficult to investigate and prosecute because there often isn’t much in the way of evidence and it’s often a he-said-she-said situation.
