Victims’ Right to Review

If you are unhappy with a decision that’s been made by the police or the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) not to prosecute a suspect, or to terminate the proceedings, you may find the Victims’ Right to Review scheme helpful.

A victim can request a review when:

• The police have decided not to bring proceedings in a case where the police have the authority to charge.
• The police have decided that the case does not meet the Threshold Test for referral to the CPS for a charging decision.
• The Crown Prosecution Service have decided not to charge the suspect, to discontinue proceedings, or offer no further evidence in court.
