The bureaucratic non-answer answer:

NZ:
‘…Police crime statistics for the Western Bay, released last week, showed 74 sexual assaults and related offences were recorded in 2013 compared to 163 last year – an increase of more than 120 per cent.
…When asked to comment on the dramatic increase in both sets of statistics and why police figures differed so much from the sexual assault service’s figures, Western Bay police acting area commander Inspector Karl Wright-St Clair said in a written statement there were several reasons, and it was pleasing to see victims had the trust and confidence in both agencies to report sexual assaults.
“Assaults of any nature, but particularly sexual assaults, are a priority for police here in Western Bay, and I encourage anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault to report the incident.”..’
