The statistics in the Abuse Database are available in full-color, real-time graphs. Click on the graph title from the list below for the real-time statistical graph.

Although our oldest case is from as far back as 1940, the vast majority of our cases are from the years 2000-present. Graphs represent U.S. cases only, unless otherwise stated.

Because there is quite a lot of information offered in some of the graph images, if you are on a slow Internet connection, they make take longer to load. Please be patient.
