The Idaho Statistical Analysis Center has released its annual update to the Idaho Crime Victim Services Dashboard, providing new data on crime victimization and the availability of victim services across the state. The report shows an increase in the number of victims served by federally funded programs in 2024, despite a continued decline in federal pass-through funding.

Why it matters

The dashboard is an important resource for policymakers, victim service agencies, and the public to understand the state of crime victimization and the availability of support services in Idaho. The data highlights regional disparities in need and funding, which can inform decisions about resource allocation and program development.

The details

According to the update, the number of victims served by federally funded victim service programs increased in 2024, rising to 51,987 individuals. This marked the first year-over-year increase since 2021. However, the federal pass-through funding dropped to $11.4 million in 2024, down from $13.2 million the previous year and from a high of $16 million in 2021. The data also show that victim service programs served significantly more victims than those identified through law enforcement reports, with rates of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and human trafficking victims receiving services several times higher than the rates reflected in law enforcement data.
