How it's measured | (a) Number of filed cases initiated by victim complaint directly to the prosecutor’s office (b) Number of filed cases initiated by victim complaint to community prosecutors |
Data elements | 1. Case referral type (walk-in) 2. Case filing decision 3. Date of case filing |
Frequency | Monthly |
Desired direction | Increase in number of filed cases |
Rationale for measuring this indicator | The majority of crimes go unreported, leaving victims without support and communities at greater risk. Prosecutors should provide options for victims to report crime to and seek help from their office. |
