Dear FOI Team,
Revised request.
My understanding is that rape and attempted rape crimes can be cancelled for the following reasons:
Transfer to another force (to investigate)
Additional Verifiable Information (AVI) (held to determine that no notifiable crime occurred)
Duplicate crime already recorded
Recorded in error (by mistake).
Please break down the answer to Q2 to show the number of (i) rapes and (ii) attempted rapes in each cancelled category that you use.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Yours sincerely,
J Roberts
