The Data
Every figure on this page comes from a published government report or a news outlet citing one, with a link and date. We don't use numbers from petition or story submissions — those are testimony, not statistics.
Rape cases registered by state, 2022
States shown are those with a specific, independently reported 2022 figure. This is not every state — absence from this chart does not mean zero cases.

Conviction rate for rape trials
Conviction rate = convictions ÷ trials decided that year, as reported by NCRB. Only years with an unambiguous rape-specific figure are shown; some sources report similar-looking numbers for the broader "crimes against women" category, which we excluded to avoid conflating the two.
