For certain contexts, the share of accused foreigners is much higher. For example, in public transport in Île-de-France, the share of non-French nationals among those “mis en cause” for sexual violence is reported as 61% in 2023.

- Increase in sexual violence (violences sexuelles)
- According to the Ministry of the Interior (SSMSI), in recent years the number of sexual violence offences recorded is increasing.
- Specifically, “viol + tentatives de viol” (rape and attempted rape) are rising by ~9 % in recent stats. BFMTV+1
- Between 2010 and 2019, police/gendarmerie data show that crimes/déliits recorded for “violences sexuelles” approximately doubled.
- Homicides relatively stable, slight recent increase
- Homicides in France have been relatively stable since the end of the 2000s.
- But there are fluctuations: e.g. approx. 980 homicides in 2024.
- The number of attempts of homicide has also increased recently.
- Violence against older persons — partial stats
- Some data on older victims: In 2024, of ~122,000 recorded victims of sexual violence (which includes rape & attempted rape), about 2,242 were over 60; of those, 626 were rape or attempted rape.
- Among people aged 75+, in 2024, there were 573 victims of sexual violence, 154 of which were rape or attempted rape.
For certain contexts, the share of accused foreigners is much higher. For example, in public transport in Île-de-France, the share of non-French nationals among those “mis en cause” for sexual violence is reported as 61% in 2023.
