Violence against women is considered an endemic problem in communities and countries
around the world, and it has been declared an issue of epidemic proportions by the World Health
Organization (WHO). In India, where the patriarchal nature of the country contributes to increasing
violence against women, there has been a dramatic increase of this gender-based violence in the past
decades. In this paper we focus on analyzing rape incidence risks in the most populous state of India.
In particular, small area models including spatial, temporal, and spatio-temporal components are
used to estimate rape incidence risks in the districts of Uttar Pradesh during the period 2001-2014.
We discover interesting spatio-temporal patterns of rape incidence as well as point out districts with
significant high risks. [--]
