00:00 Well we've seen a huge drop in charging, particularly in cases like domestic abuse.
00:06 That means more criminals are getting off and it means more victims are being badly let down.
00:12 That's why Labour's been working with victims experts, with chief prosecutors and police
00:19 on how we fix this broken system which is letting victims down so we have reforms on bureaucracy,
00:25 on them working together so that we can make sure more victims get justice.
00:29 I think the system is broken now after 14 years of Conservative government.
00:34 We've seen charges plummet, we've seen more victims being badly let down
00:39 and that's why we want to end the blame game with different organisations just blaming each other
00:43 and set a new approach where the police and Crown Prosecution Service need to properly work together,
00:49 where we have new arrangements particularly for charging domestic abuse because that is one of the
00:54 most serious crimes and so we can make sure victims get support and justice that they deserve.
