  • Figures do not include rapes that go unreported to law enforcement.
  • “Rate” indicates the number of rape incidents per 100,000 citizens in the given country.
  • Country-to-country comparisons of rape statistics can be heavily distored by two major influences: differing definitions of rape and wildly different legal and cultural treatment of rape victims.
  • First, countries with strong protections for women often use a much broader and more inclusive definition of rape than others, which can make the number/frequency of rapes appear higher than it does in countries with fewer protections for women and/or narrower definitions of rape.
  • Secondly, in some cultures, reporting a rape can lead to the victim being disowned, charged with a crime themselves, or subjected to violence. For example, rape victims in Saudi Arabia may be flogged or stoned for the crime of having sex out of wedlock. In such cultures, many or most rapes go unreported.
  • These factors are the main reasons highly developed countries such as the United Kingdom and Sweden appear to have far more rapes than Saudi Arabia and Tanzania. If the definitions of rape and cultural support for the victims were identical, the data would change dramatically.
  • Data for United Kingdom pertain to England and Wales. During 2017, Northern Ireland recorded 3,356 sexual assaults and a rate of 179.4, while Scotland recorded 11,628 assaults and a rate of 214.3.
