Women who report a rape are five times less likely to see their attacker convicted in some parts of the country than in others, according to new research.
An analysis of official figures reveals that the conviction rate for rapists fell in 18 out of 43 police force areas in England and Wales between 2004 and 2006.
In Leicestershire, fewer than one in 35 women who report a rape see a successful prosecution, but in Cleveland that figure improves to one in seven.
More dishonest, exaggerated crap from the feminist Fawcett Society.

Those official figures given by the Times are USELESS.
You can't draw any useful conclusions unless the accusation and conviction numbers are given. For if you give those, you'll actually see the conviction numbers since 1985 have remained -- wait for it -- about the same. (They may have even gone up slightly to reflect an increase in population.)
What has shot up severalfold is the number of accusations with scant evidence of rape, following comforting advice from government that false rape accusers will not be punished.
Turn to page 97 (Appendix E) and you'll see what I mean.
Voilà.
"An analysis of official figures reveals that the conviction rate for rapists fell in 18 out of 43 police force areas in England and Wales between 2004 and 2006."
Notice how the phraseology is purposely designed to give the impression that 'rapists' have gone free - when no-one has any valid evidence to suggest that these men were, in fact, 'rapists'.
Indeed, given the evidence surrounding this issue, it is actually more valid to say that "the acquittal rate for men who have been falsely accused has increased.
