Yvette Cooper MP, Shadow Home Secretary, responding to latest criminal justice statistics on sex offences, said:   “It is alarming that convictions for sex offences are falling at a time when the number of recorded offences is rising sharply.   “Labour has warned David Cameron and Theresa May for some time that there is a growing justice gap and more serious criminals are getting away with the their crimes without facing prosecution or the courts - let alone conviction.   “Overall, convictions have fallen for sexual offences, domestic violence cases and child abuse cases since 2010.   “It’s time the Tory led Government took action to make sure victims get the justice they deserve.”
