POCSO Cases in TN Jump by 52%

Experts say this is due to strengthening of reporting mechanisms
TAMIL Nadu witnessed its steepest ever increase in the registration of cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act in 2024. Cases went up from 4,581 in 2023, to 6,975 in 2024—a 52.3% jump—according to data accessed by TNIE.
Child rights activists and government officials, however, stressed that this increase in registration of Pocso cases should not be seen as an alarming or sudden surge in crimes against children, but as a positive indication that cases, which would have otherwise gone unreported, have been coming to light due to strengthening of reporting mechanisms.
While cases under Pocso Act have increased ever since the legislation came into force, the rise in 2024 is the sharpest so far, as per data available with The New Indian Express.
