As of 2010, in U.S. there are about 27-28 rapes per 100,000 population, England and Scotland are about the same. Our rate is declining steadily, theirs increasing. Canada's rate is 1/10 ours, Mexico's (reported) rate is 1/2 ours, which I don't credit.

It is as bad as murder. So are false reports of rape.

[James C. Bennett]

There’s more apathy in the US than in India for violent rapes. Several of them matching the barbarity of the Delhi rape incident took place in cities around the US after the incident in India.

Barely any American public reactions to them, hardly any news coverage, any political announcements, concerning it. The reaction in India was phenomenal by comparison - It brought the country to a standstill.

It’s not a far stretch to see that America’s rape problem is far more dire.
