119 Whilst the SCJS does not provide information on recent victims of Child Sexual Abuse, the equivalent survey in England and Wales found in 2018-19 that less than one quarter of people who experienced such crimes reported them to the police. It would seem reasonable to assume that a similar position might pertain in Scotland, though this is a profoundly sensitive area where there are many barriers to accurate data collection – including a lack of recognition by some children and young people that they are being sexually abused, as well as challenging and ethical questions around the collection of this data.

120 https://www.gov.scot/collections/recorded-crime-in-scotland/

121 For example, further examination of the Official Statistics show that one contributor to the overall fall in April to June 2020 was a 43 per cent reduction in recorded crimes of lewd and libidinous practices (from 316 to 181). These cases all had child victims and must have occurred before December 2010, given the legislation used by police to record them. As such, it seems likely there has been at least a temporary fall in reports of historical CSA during the pandemic. In contrast, there has been a different impact in terms of cyber-enabled crimes, with Police Scotland highlighting in a recent paper to the Scottish Police Authority that online crimes of CSA were 21 per cent higher in April to June 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.
