Homicide and Rape: Crown Court
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of Crown court cases are for murder, manslaughter and rape.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
In the 12 months to June, there were 114,325 cases disposed of at the Crown Court for all offences, 3,615 for rape, 483 for murder and 49 for manslaughter – rape accounts for 3.0%, and murder and manslaughter combined make up less than 0.1% of all disposals at the Crown Court in the period.
This is a further breakdown of Crown Court workload statistics, Table C1, published in Criminal Court Statistics Quarterly here.
