摘要

导言:最近,联合国宣布 11 月 18 日为 "世界预防和治愈儿童性剥削、虐待和暴力日"。尽管印度媒体经常报道针对儿童的性犯罪,但对这些犯罪的年度趋势和区域模式进行分析的科学研究在印度却很少。目标:描述印度针对儿童的性犯罪 (CAC) 的年度趋势和地区模式:分析国家犯罪记录局(NCRB)2014-2021 年的性犯罪数据,以描述印度针对儿童的性犯罪的年度趋势和地区模式。结果显示据报告,2014-2021 年期间性犯罪呈递增趋势。2021 年的性犯罪率最高(12.1%)。在 2014-2021 年期间,性犯罪率在接下来的每一年都持续上升。据报告,2017 年的同比增幅最高(142%)。在所有 CAC 中,性犯罪的比例从 2014 年的 10%增至 2021 年的 36%。女孩报告的案件数量(平均值=25112;标准差=5371)高于男孩(平均值=241;标准差=47)。2021 年,德里的所有 CAC 犯罪率最高,而安达曼和尼科巴群岛的性犯罪率最高。结论与建议:尽管有保护儿童的法律框架,但印度针对儿童的性犯罪仍在增加。地区模式表明,印度各地的性犯罪分布各不相同。据报告,在偏远、地理位置较小的印度岛屿以及人口稠密的印度大陆,性犯罪的发生率较高。建议采取干预措施,提供有关举报性犯罪的知识,改变社区态度,鼓励安全健康的童年生活。

Introduction: Recently, the United Nations declared November 18  as the World Day for the Prevention of and Healing from Child Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Violence. Despite sexua l offences against children being frequently reported in Indian media, scientific studies analysing the annual trends and re gional patterns of these crimes are scarce in India. Objectives: To describe annual trends and regional patterns of sexual crimes against children (CAC) in India Methods: National Crimes Record Bureau (NCRB) data on sexual c rimes for years 2014-2021 were analysed to describe annual trends and regional patterns of sexual offences against childr en in India. Results: An incremental trend in sexual offences was reported dur ing the 2014-2021 period. Sexual offences had the highest crime rate in 2021 (12.1%). There was a continuous increase in sexual offences in each succeeding year during the 2014-2021 period. The highest year-over-year increase was reported in 2017 (142%). The proportion of sexual offences in all CAC increased from 10% in 2014 to 36% in 2021. A higher num ber of cases were reported among girls (mean=25112; SD=5371) than boys (mean=241; SD=47). In 2021, Delhi had the  highest crime rate for all CAC, while Andaman and Nicobar Islands had the highest crime rate for sexual offences.

Regional patterns suggest  a diverse distribution of sexual offences across India. A higher concentration of sexual offences was reported on remote, g eographically smaller Indian islands as well as on the densely populated mainland of India.
