Scotland: THAT Guy Sexual Crime Prevention Campaign launched by Police Scotland

The latest campaign launches at a time when reports of sexual crime continue to increase.

Between 1 April 2024 and end of September 2024 (quarters 1 and 2, 2024 – 25), 1,400 rapes were reported to Police Scotland, an increase of 19.5 per cent on the same period in 2023-24. Most offences (850) had occurred within the last 12 months. The remainder occurred more than 12 months ago.

Nearly 7,600 sexual crimes were reported in total, an increase of 3.2 per cent on the same period in 2023-24. Of those, nearly one quarter were reports of non-recent offences (1,829).
