New figures show men were the victims in 71 per cent of homicides reported last year
More than four in five victims of reported sexual offences – both recent and historic – were female. Of the 3,118 reported victims of incidents of sexual offences last year, 2,575 were female and 543 were male.
In terms of homicides, men were the victims in 71 per cent of incidents reported last year, and males were targeted in nearly six in 10 reported incidents of physical assault and related offences. More than three fifths of victims of dangerous driving leading to death were men. “Suspected offender statistics are published up to 2021 only to allow time for criminal investigations to progress,” Mr Dalton said.
A third of detected sexual offences in 2021 involved a victim who was under 18 and a suspected offender who was aged 30 or more when the offence occurred.
