Each case is different, but these are the testing steps, which may lead to a.

How a decision to prosecute is made?

after a police investigation, an independent organization with the name Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) decides whether or not there should be a prosecution.

It uses a two-step test, in the guidance with the name " Code for crown prosecutors.

How this is to be different, found guilty in court?

A higher test is applied when a case, The Criminal courts have achieved. In the court, jury, judge or magistrate may only convict if you are sure that the defendant is guilty.

The Key word is "safe".

When making its decision, the don't need CPS in order to be sure of guilt and considered instead whether there is a realistic prospect of conviction.

This is sometimes better than a 50% chance.

How does the CPS deal with cases of domestic violence?

Domestic abuse allegations are a major problem for the CPS and the Criminal Justice system as a whole.

This is reflected in the numbers of cases. It is almost 750,000 reports of domestic violence crimes for the police in England and Wales in the year to March 2019. However, almost 79,000 (approximately 10%) were traced, of which 76% of the accused were condemned.

One of the reasons there are many more reports of domestic violence as persecution is that the person who filed the complaint, it attracts.

This is why the guidelines say, domestic violence, law enforcement does not stop automatically, if the Complainant withdraws their support.

There is a long list of possible reasons. To fear, to be ashamed face-to-face with the offender before the court, publicly or expelled from the community, pressure from the perpetrator, family, or colleagues, and the fear that the children be removed and placed in care.

What can be used for any other evidence?

the prosecutors have to try to find out why someone pulls out a complaint.

But if you are Affairs it, the CPS heavy criticism for failing to combat domestic violence threaten.

So, it brings so-called "without victims" or "evidence-based" charges can.

This is only done where there is other strong circumstantial evidence, such as 999 calls, video from police body cameras, statements, and interviews.

the goal is to protect these charges, to support the victims who feel unable to, a law enforcement.

In the year 2018, there were 173 domestic violence-related homicides in the UK. Many believe that the number would be higher, without a "without a victim of" persecution, the perpetrators stop before going to kill.

What is the Mental Health is a suspicion?

The Mental Health of a suspect is to be considered an important factor for the CPS in the prosecution.

There is also a detailed tutorial on this topic. There is a wide range of conditions covered by the Mental Health Act, learning disabilities, autism and dementia.

the police officer must prove that the accused Mental Health issues to the attention of the office of The Public Prosecutor, who can further notices or reports.

in the end, you will have to consider whether or not to pursue it in The Public interest.

That depends on the type and severity of Mental Health problems, as well as the circumstances of the crime.
