Our data indicates that women take longer to report crimes than men. Women took 17 days on average while men took 12 days on average. This may indicate a fear by women of not being believed or of an unspoken stigma around reporting crimes. There is a wide variety in our data for when people report crimes. While the mean is relatively low, there are clearly lots of outliers that indicate people take various amounts of time to report crimes.
