How many rapists are convicted?
In this article, you’ll learn about:
Let’s dig in.
~3,258 rapists are convicted per year in the US.
There is an estimated 465,483 rapes that happen per year.
That means that only 0.70% of rapists are convicted per year in the US.
~2,795 rapists go to jail per year in the US.
There is an estimated 465,483 rapes that happen per year.
That means that only 0.60% of rapists go to jail per year in the US.
But, 26,533 (5.70%) rapists get arrested per year.
So, only 12.28% of rapists that are arrested go to jail after sentencing.
~2,790 sexual assault cases are dismissed per year.
We know that, out of every 1,000 rapes, 310 get reported to the police.
Out of the 310 rapes that get reported:
We know that there were 144,300 reports of rape in America last year.
(Meaning that 69% of rapes, or 465,483 rapes, went unreported.)
To calculate how many sexual assault cases get dismissed per year, we look at:
This means that 6 out of 13 (46.15%) sexual assault cases that go in front of a prosecutor get dismissed.
6,046 rapists (4.19% of 144,300) go in front of a prosecutor.
Of those, 46.15% (2,790) cases of rape get dismissed per year.
310 of 1,000 rapes get reported (RAINN).
There were 144,300 reports of rape in America last year.
~321,183 rapes go unreported per year.
690 out of every 1,000 rapes go unreported.
Last year, 144,300 (310 of 1,000) rapes got reported.
That means that there are 465,483 rapes that happen per year.
465,483 – 144,300 = 321,183 rapes that go unreported a year.
465,483 x 69% = 321,183 unreported rapes.
~465,483 people get raped per year in the United States.
That’s 0.14% of people get raped per year in America.
Let’s talk about how we calculated this.
We know that there were 144,300 reports of rape in America last year.
RAINN reports that only 310 out of every 1,000 rapes get reported.
That’s only 31% of rapes that get reported.
By dividing 144,300 by 31%, we end up with 465,483 people getting raped per year.
Meaning that 321,183 rapes do not get reported per year.
~392,402 women are raped per year.
2.78 million men have been raped, while 17.7 million women have been raped.
That means that 86.43% of rape victims are women.
We know that there are 465,483 rapes per year.
465,483 x 86.43% = 402,297 women that are raped per year.
0.24% of women get raped per year.
86.43% of people that get raped per year are women.
This calculation is based on data over the decades.
We know that 2.78 million men have been raped, while 17.7 million women have been raped.
2.78m + 17.7m = 20.48 million rapes in total.
17.7m / 20.48m = 86.43% of people who get raped are women.
We also know that 402,297 women get raped per year.
The total population of women in America is 166.6 million.
402,297 / 166,600,000 = 0.241% of women get raped per year.
0.039% of men get raped per year.
86.43% of people that get raped per year are men.
This calculation is based on data over the decades.
We know that 2.78 million men have been raped, while 17.7 million women have been raped.
2.78m + 17.7m = 20.48 million rapes in total.
2.78m / 20.48m = 13.57% of people who get raped are women.
We also know that 63,186 men get raped per year.
The total population of men in America is 163.9 million.
63,186 / 166,600,000 = 0.039% of men get raped per year.
