The BBC story with the 61 women successfully prosecuted is especially enlightening.

Note how 61 women out of 68 were found guilty, i.e. a 90% conviction rate. Feminists would tell you that somehow shows the crime is rigorously being prosecuted but it actually shows the opposite.

To have such an incredibly high success rate shows the police are only ever going after nailed on cases where a conviction is basically guaranteed (the 7 failures can easily be explained by mistakes, losing evidence, witnesses dropping out, maybe a couple of gender feminists on juries etc).

In many court cases it tends to be roughly a 50/50 chance of a conviction due to the police trying to prosecute people who have a decent chance of being found guilty, though perhaps not quite proving their case every time.

This clearly isn't happening with false rape - if they haven't got absolute total irrefutable proof and perhaps a confession trials aren't' taking place. If they were going after offenders properly there would be the same sort of conviction rate as for other crimes.
