This research quantifies the proportion of reported sexual violence victimisations that currently progress through the justice system to a conviction. Additionally, it aims to determine if differences exist over time, for children and young people, adults reporting historic childhood offences, different offence types, Māori and different perpetrator
relationship types. An initial analysis of the time taken to progress through the system is also undertaken.
A large-scale analysis of this type has not previously been undertaken in New Zealand. It differs from previous research, in that it includes all sexual violence victimisations reported to Police over a four-year period and includes both adult and child victims. (From the summary).
