Those statistics about rapes going unreported
« on: May 10, 2016, 12:27:35 pm »

While these statistics at obviously (and have been proven to be) overstated, I acknowledge that it's true that most rapes are unreported or unprosecuted.

Which kind of leads me to wonder: why the hell would anyone make that public knowledge?

I mean, it's basically an invitation to rapists of all kinds and creeds - "go ahead and do your stuff people, don't worry, there's almost no chance anyone will take any sort of official, legal action against you for it!"

It's those old ones that are always thrown around, you've definitely heard them before.

I'd link but I'm on my phone and I've got an English exam in about half an hour, I can post them after.

Only ones Ive heard is like the 1/5 women are raped statistic, which I'm fairly certain is horrendously false.

Ty - my average in the class is 104 though, and I'd need to get lower than an 86.66 to get less than a hundred (max grade is a hundred no matter what), so I'm not worried.

Talking about the "90% of rapes go unreported" or somesuch.

In reality that's the highest possible estimate, the real number is likely around 50% or lower.
