Delaware's Statistical Analysis Center uses a general grouping scheme to analyze victim-offender relationships. The scheme includes partner relationships, relatives, otherwise known, and unknown. Data on homicide, forcible rape, other sexual assault, aggravated assault, and simple assault are analyzed by victim-offender relationship; pie and bar charts disaggregate victim-offender relationships. The report includes additional information on reported rapes in 1991 and 1992 by age group. The analysis shows that rape is most often a crime against children. Further, the incidence of child victimization and the dramatic difference between rape of juvenile versus adult males clearly reflect the victimization of those who are most vulnerable.
