re the lack of empathy, what this report does not make clear is that the people written to, described above as "victims of crime" whilst in many cases will indeed be true victims of crime, will also include complainants who did not turn up for the trial or retracted their complaint, or people whose allegation the CPS have reviewed and found not to meet the standard for prosecution - which in some cases may amount to a belief that the allegation is a pack of lies.
