"StatisticsSubmitted by sturm on Thu, 2005-09-15 17:57. The National Crime Victimization Survey includes statistics on reported and unreported crimes in America. Sexual assault is one of the most underreported crimes, with more than half still being left unreported.
Every two and a half minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted.
One in six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape, and 10% of sexual assault victims are men.
In 2003-2004, there were an average annual 204,370 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault.
About 44% of rape victims are under age 18, and 80% are under age 30."
The above 4 points make the 5th pale by comparrison. My comment - Frwy
"Since 1994, rape/sexual assault has fallen by over 64%."
When you consider all the points in your revolutionary statement, it makes it not so revolutionary after all.
And the "STATISTICS" fail even more because of the disparity between reported and UNreported sexual assaults/rapes.
Women have historically been accused of being at fault in the rape. Makes them more likely not to report it.To sit in a court room and endure the humiliation of accusatory questioning is too much for most already frazzled nerves. And do you think that, even if your statistic were irrefutable, which it certainly is not, that it would negate all of the information provided by Mr. Lindsey. Hardly. Even laughable to think so.

Revolutionary statement? You lost me there.

Do you have any reason to think underreporting has increased from 1994 to 2004?

Do you have any statistics that you think are more accurate than the USDOJ?
