Overview
- Tribunal figures through September show sentences rising to 1,165 in 2025 from 1,079 in 2024, with 751 total years of prison imposed, up about 5 percent.
- Convicted perpetrators aged 18–41 now account for 62 percent versus 58 percent last year, with notable increases among 22–31-year-olds and a smaller rise at 18–21; 89 percent of those convicted are male and 61 percent are Italian.
- Officials report a 2 percent uptick in complaints from women aged 18–25, while foreign women—particularly from North Africa—remain underrepresented in filings, prompting outreach via consular channels.
- Electronic monitoring devices are described as insufficient with roughly 45 days to install, and the court will ask the Prefecture to convene a coordination table; nationally, about 13,000 orders face only 2,000 available devices, according to Roia.
- Magistrates warn that longer proceedings correlate with higher acquittal rates and risk secondary victimization, citing stronger conviction outcomes when cases conclude within a year.
