Reported Rape Rates in Selected European Countries: Comparison Over Time

Important caveat: Comparing rape statistics across countries (or even over time within the same country) is highly challenging and often misleading. Reported figures reflect police-recorded offences, which are heavily influenced by:

  • Legal definitions of rape (e.g., many countries shifted to consent-based laws in the 2010s–2020s, broadening what counts as rape).
  • Reporting rates (higher in countries with greater public trust, awareness campaigns like #MeToo, and victim support).
  • Police recording practices (some count every allegation immediately; others only after investigation).
  • Cultural factors (stigma reduces reporting in some societies).

Victimization surveys (asking people directly) show more stable prevalence rates and fewer cross-country differences. Eurostat and experts emphasize that increases in reported rapes largely stem from improved reporting and broader definitions, not necessarily more incidents.EU-wide (Eurostat data):

  • Police-recorded rape offences more than doubled (+141%) from 2013 to 2023 (91,370 rapes in 2023, +7% from 2022).
  • Broader sexual violence offences up 79% in the same period.

The fact is the Marxist or Socialist controlled Globalist states of Europe do all they can to hide their massive rape statistics as they are doing all they can to destroy their nations. As Trump says’ Everything woke turns to shit’ and the woke Left detests White people and are doing all they can to get as many raped and killed in all nations.

Below is a list of selected countries with approximate reported rape rates per 100,000 inhabitants (primarily from Eurostat/UNODC compilations, Statista summaries, and national reports). “A decade ago” uses ~2010–2015 averages where available; “latest” uses 2022–2023 figures.

  • Sweden: ~50–64 (2013–2017 avg.) → ~66–200+ (2022, including broader sexual violence; narrow rape ~66–70). One of the highest reported rates due to very broad definition and high reporting.
  • England & Wales (UK): ~25–30 (early 2010s) → ~109–117 (2022–2024). Sharp rise after recording reforms and broader counting.
  • France: ~15–20 (2010s) → ~50–60 (recent estimates; highest absolute numbers ~31,000 female victims in 2021).
  • Germany: ~8–10 (2010s) → ~12–15 (2022).
  • Ireland: Lower (2010s) → ~34 per 100,000 females (2022; nearly 3x EU average for females).
  • Denmark/Norway/Iceland (Nordics): ~30–50 (2010s) → 50–80+ (recent; high reporting similar to Sweden).
  • Netherlands/Belgium: ~20–30 (2010s) → 40–60 (recent).
  • Spain: Lower (2010s) → Significant increases post-consent law reform (sharp rises in 2020s).
  • Italy: ~5–8 (consistent low) → ~11 (2022).
  • Greece: Low → Variable, with some recent fluctuations.
  • Bulgaria/Poland: Very low ~2–5 → Low or slight decreases in recent years.
  • Eastern Europe generally (e.g., Romania, Hungary): Often lowest reported rates (~5–10), likely due to underreporting.

Countries like Sweden, the UK, and France consistently appear “high” in reported rates, while Southern/Eastern Europe appear low. However, standardized EU victimization surveys (2020–2024) show lifetime sexual violence prevalence is similar across many countries, with no extreme outliers matching the police data. For accurate prevalence (actual experiences), refer to the EU-GBV survey: ~1 in 6 women in the EU have experienced sexual violence (including rape) in adulthood, with only ~1 in 8 reporting to police. Sources: Eurostat crime statistics (2023–2024 releases), UNODC compilations, national councils (e.g., BRÅ Sweden), and fact-check analyses emphasizing comparability issues.
