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.
4 in 2018, 11 in 2025. The highest year on record is 2025. 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.
