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.

That's the problem with stats on this. Some cultural groups its normalised to the degree that there's less reporting. Spain has been doing a huge education campaign on this for years but then judges have aquitted rape gangs so it causes further demoralisation and lack if reporting. Very hard stats to analyse due to confounding
