Machine learning predicts rape reporting delays using public data, identifying factors like age and holidays. These insights help support rape survivors and optimize community services.

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Data Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Under-reporting and delayed reporting of rape significantly hinder prosecution and survivor support.
  • Spatial variations in rape reporting delays suggest underlying influencing factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a machine learning framework to predict delayed rape reporting.
  • To analyze spatial, temporal, and socio-economic factors contributing to reporting delays.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a large database of publicly available criminal reports from two US cities.
  • Developed predictive models to identify key factors associated with delayed rape reporting.

Main Results:

  • A substantial portion of rape reporting delay variation can be explained using openly available data.

  • Younger survivors and crimes during holiday seasons are associated with longer reporting delays.

    • Conclusions:

    • Machine learning models can effectively predict rape reporting delays using public data.
    • Findings enable data-driven policies and targeted support for vulnerable communities and sexual violence survivors.
    • Community organizations can leverage these insights to optimize service delivery without sensitive police data.
