Threshold test?

[Gutted]

Do many of you know much about the 'Threshold' test and when the CPS would do it? All I know about it is if they think there is more than a 51% chance of a conviction they go ahead and charge? Is this correct and could anyone give me anymore information. I am trying to found out how this system works.

Thanks.

I don't think they'd be quite so "helpful" to someone accused of rape, when their primary aim is to help rape victims, not FA victims. I don't see your site advocating help to both sides, which our one does.
I'm not so sure they'd make any distinction between an FA and a rapist, so I wouldn't recommend any FA going there to look for help. It could be akin to walking into the lion's den.

Sorry.but!!!

They would still help and be able to put them in touch with someone who could help them.

i was told by police that to go to court the cps had to believe there was at least a 51% chance it would end in conviction. where that figure came from, no idea. just second hand info
