Note: Multiple factors lie behind the long term increase in recorded domestic abuse-related crime including for example – historical reporting, more online offending and the impact of new legislation. The latest available data from the SCJS, for 2018-20 (2018-19 & 2019-20 combined) estimated that 3.6% of adults experienced at least one serious sexual assault since the age of 16, unchanged from 2008-09.

So, you know the drill. With 63 867 incidents in Scotland, we might expect 11 tines as many in England and Wales – 702 537 but there were 816 493, 114 000, 16.2% more.
