Despite the increase in self-reports of rape and sexual assault, there was a decrease in reporting to police from 2017 to 2018. Forty-percent (40%) of rapes and sexual assaults were reported to police in 2017, but only about 25% were reported to police in 2018.

Based on data from the survey, it is estimated that 734,630 people were raped (threatened, attempted, or completed) in the United States in 2018.

Thirty-seven (37%) of the total violent victimization experienced was identified as rape, sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated assault.

This webinar shares how preventionists can use principles-focused evaluation in their sexual violence prevention work.

This report summarizes findings based on the 2018 National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), which was the third consecutive iteration of the NCVS to find that the number of violent-crime victims was higher than in 2015
