Based on rape-related statistics in the UK, David Mccandless published a data visualisation that makes these statistics more accessible. From a big blue semicircle representing the 78,000 estimated rapes per year, the circles get smaller as you scroll down through the number of rapes reported, then the number of perpetrators prosecuted, and then finally - a relatively tiny circle at the bottom - the number of convictions.
