Rape is the fourth most common crime against women in India. According to the National Crime Records Bureau 2013 annual report, 24,923 rape cases were reported across India in 2012. Out of these, 24,470 were committed by someone known to the victim (98% of the cases).
India has been characterized as one of the "countries with the lowest per capita rates of rape". The National Crime Records Bureau of India suggests a reported rape rate of 2 per 100,000 people, much lower than reported rape incidence rate statistics for many nations tracked by the United Nations. A majority of rape cases in India, as elsewhere in the world, are never reported.
According to 2012 statistics, New Delhi has the highest raw number of rape reports among Indian cities, while Jabalpur has the highest per capital rate of rape reports. Several rape cases in India received widespread media attention and triggered protests since 2012.This led the Government of India to reform its penal code for crimes of rape and sexual assault.
