Method & caveats. Annual report count by type, 2001–2024, from 2024_CSN_Number_of_Reports_by_Type.csv. Not unique victims or a population incidence rate. Multiple report types can apply; category totals need not equal the unduplicated combined count. Breaks: none known that is dated: contributing organizations, public awareness, and classifications change over time. National Do Not Call Registry complaints excluded; reporting volume is not underlying crime incidence.
