Data & Research
New Mexico Statewide Data
NMCSAP collects data about the impact of sexual violence, service provision, and community needs by utilizing a statewide data collection tool contributed to by all state funded SA programs, conducting statewide needs assessments, and through ongoing taskforce and stakeholder meetings.
Additionally, in 2024, NMCSAP conducted the first NM Crime Victimization Survey in twenty years in partnership with the Catherine Cutler Institute and American Indian Development Associates. The purpose of the New Mexico Crime Victimization Survey was to understand the extent of criminal victimization, crime reporting, and assistance seeking for four types of crime (stalking, rape, sexual assault, and domestic violence) and to identify differences in rates between demographic groups. The findings offer a critical opportunity to address cycles of violence and invest in comprehensive solutions that prioritize safety and healing for all people in New Mexico.
