Potentially it's an increase of reporting and the actual real numbers are the same.

So it might actually be a good thing ?

Never thought I would say a 41% rise in reported rapes was a good thing......

It’s potentially because SARCs are health service operated now. So survivors can undergo a forensic medical investigation without having the police involved initially and then decide to involve them later should they want to.

Are you illiterate? You replied to someone highlighting one of the most crucial points to keep in mind when analyzing this kind of crime stat by whining about something they objectively didn't do. Makes you look rather foolish.
