When looking at the proportion of people who declared to have been victims of incest in France between 2009 and 2023, it appears that the share of reported victims increased from three to 11 percent over the study period. It can be assumed that this increase is not due to a greater occurrence of these crimes but to a liberation of the victims' speech who are less afraid to testify about the violence they suffered in their childhood.
