Incident Reporting

People with DISABILITIES are victimized at a much higher

rate than the rest of the population

They report crime less frequently

Most likely know the perpetrator

Their disability can make it difficult to report

More than 70% of people with

disabilities had been abused

according to a 2012 survey A

Acquaintance (41%)

Stranger (30.6%)

Intimate partner (15.3%)

Other relative (9%)

Unknown (4.1%)
