POLICE decisions could be challenged by victims of sexual offences if Labour comes to power in May, the party announced yesterday.

New plans launched by shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper would give people the “Right to Review” when police drop sexual offences cases before they have been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

The scheme would start with cases of rape and child sexual exploitation where despite a high number of reports, few arrests and prosecutions have been made.
