Recent Sentencing Data (FY 2024) — U.S. Sentencing Commission

Among individuals sentenced for sexual abuse offenses (which includes rape) in FY 2024:

• 55.1 % White

• 15.2 % Hispanic

• 13.9 % Black

• 13.0 % Native American

• 2.8 % Other races

93.5 % were men overall. 

👉 Important nuance: these percentages are from federal sentencing data for #reported cases — they don’t reflect the full universe of all convictions nationwide, and federal cases often involve particular kinds of offenses.

Very hard stats to analyse due to confounding
