BOISE, ID — The Idaho Statistical Analysis Center has released its annual update to the Idaho Crime Victim Services Dashboard, providing updated data on crime victimization and the availability of victim services across the state.

The dashboard is a collaborative project between the Idaho Statistical Analysis Center and the Idaho Council on Domestic Violence and Victim Assistance. It compiles and analyzes multiple data sources related to crime victims’ interactions with Idaho’s justice system and is designed as a resource for policymakers, victim service agencies, program managers, and the public.

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. The increase occurred despite a continued decline in federal pass-through funding, which 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. Rates of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and human trafficking victims receiving services were several times higher than the rates reflected in law enforcement data. For human trafficking, 658 victims were served statewide in 2024, while 13 cases were identified through law enforcement records.

Regional need scores calculated by the analysis center indicate southern and western Idaho had the highest overall need for victim services in 2024. Public Health District 5, which includes Twin Falls County, ranked highest among the state’s districts based on demographic and crime data but ranked fifth in direct victim service grant funding.

At the county level, Gooding County recorded the highest overall need score. The county did not have a federally funded victim service program headquartered within its borders in 2024, a factor cited as contributing to the ranking. Canyon County ranked second overall and had the highest need score in the category covering other crimes, including human trafficking.

The Idaho Crime Victim Services Dashboard includes information on community demographics, reported crimes, victims served by federally funded programs, and the number and types of victim service agencies operating statewide. The full dataset and interactive dashboard are available through the Idaho State Police website.
