From
Stuff:
"A Ministry of Women's Affairs two-year study which analysed all adult sexual violation cases recorded by the police between July 2005 and December 2007 found that he overall conviction rate, based on 1955 recorded cases, was just 13 per cent."
If you the read the
Actual report
Stranger assaults accounted for just 15% of cases, and “just met” (within the last 24 hours) assaults for another 16%. So 69% of sexual assaults were perpetrated by people known to the victim – 33% by intimates (family, current or ex-partners), and 37% by other known offenders (friends, acquaintances, colleagues and other work associates, caregivers)
You'll allso find that less than half of the doctors (20%), service providers (38%) and Crown prosecutors (39%) involved in working with victims of sexual violence would advise a friend or family member to go through the criminal justice system due to the difficulty in getting a conviction.
Urgh.
