摘要

关于警方在与皇家检察署合作处理强奸和严重性犯罪案件时遇到的挑战，学术研究很少；然而，这种关系在改善适当的病例结果方面起着至关重要的作用。这项定性研究旨在进一步了解这一领域的知识，使用了来自英格兰和威尔士四支部队的50名警察的访谈数据，并使用主题分析进行了分析。警方/中央警察局的工作面临四个主要挑战：（一）沟通和关系不佳，对电子系统的依赖加剧了这种情况；（ii）没有及早获得意见；（iii）以CPS驾驶受害者为重点的调查；以及（iv）DG6和披露的问题。然而，也发现了良好做法的领域，包括：早期咨询诊所；加强早期咨询；警察/CPS联合培训/会议；病例进展跟踪器；以及关于合理调查范围的讨论。

Barriers and challenges to police and Crown Prosecution Service joint working on rape and serious sexual offence cases: A police perspective

There is scant academic research on the challenges encountered by the police when working with the Crown Prosecution Service on rape and serious sexual offence cases; yet this relationship plays a crucial part in improving appropriate case outcomes. This qualitative study aims to further knowledge in this area, using interview data from 50 police officers from four forces across England and Wales, analysed using thematic analysis. Four main challenges with police/CPS working were found: (i) poor communication and relationships, exacerbated by a reliance on electronic systems; (ii) not obtaining early advice; (iii) the CPS driving victim-focused investigations; and (iv) issues with DG6 and disclosure. However, areas of good practice were also found, including: early advice clinics; enhanced early advice; joint police/CPS training/meetings; case progression trackers; and discussions regarding reasonable lines of inquiry.
