Each bar is the year's total reports. The segments show what happened: a charge was laid, the case was solved another way, or no one was charged. Figures beside each colour are for 2025.

52 in 1998, 112 in 2025. The highest year on record is 2012. A single year moving up or down is ordinary; the shape across the whole series is the part worth reading.

The last two columns are the ones to compare across years: they stay steady when the volume of reports changes, so a real shift shows up rather than being hidden by how many reports came in.
