Cases of murder, manslaughter, sexual and domestic abuse, or other violence, by the sex and origin of the people charged or suspected against the sex and origin of the victims. A case with both women and men among its victims is counted once in each. Origin is known on both sides for 0 of 2 (0%). Victims of sexual offences cannot be named in Irish reports, so their origin is rarely reported and most of those cases fall under origin not reported. Counts are cases, not people.

Cases where no report gives a nationality or a name to judge origin from, by month of the incident, over the last three years. The line is a three month average. Faint bars are months with fewer than 20 cases, too few to read, and are left out of the line and the figures here. Over the last six full months 65% of cases had no known origin, against 53% in the six before and 52% across every full month tracked. The more cases with no origin, the less the origin figures on this page can say.

Rates are cases per 100,000 residents of that group (Census 2022 citizenship), not offenders and not convictions. Cases with unknown origin are left out of both, so both are lower bounds, and the ratio between them only means something if outlets report origin equally for both groups. The bar shows where the true rate likely falls given so few cases.
