Description

A programme of mixed-methods research has been designed to explore disproportionality in more detail within the CPS. In particular, the research aims to go beyond understanding that there is disproportionality in CPS charging decisions and explore why and how this disproportionality occurs. (Corpus Linguistics)

For the next stage of this research, the research team will analyse how charging decisions may be impacted by various factors that have not yet been explored. These include previous offending history, the language and presentation of evidence files to the CPS, and the processes that prosecutors follow when reviewing these files.
