[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77438862, member: 123415"] If nation master is one of the sources you're quoting, then it would appear they have some conflicting data because that's the source I was using [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Australia/United-States/Crime[/URL] [ATTACH type="full"]338770[/ATTACH] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Crime/Rape-victims[/URL] [ATTACH type="full"]338771[/ATTACH] And it could be due to how the stats are reported. People willing to report it to a surveyor vs. actually filing police reports. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Crime/Robbery-victims[/URL] And also, the stats I was reporting were percentage of the population who've been victimized, which is different than [I]incidents per X number of people[/I]. For instance, in a town of 100 people, last year If "Sally Jones" has been the victim of marital rape 5 times at the hands of her abusive partner vs. If 5 different women in the town have been raped Those both equate to "5 rapes per 100 people", but they tell a very different story with regards to women's safety in the area. The former highlights a concern regarding one particular guy. The latter confers a concern about the area, in general with regards to that type of crime. [/QUOTE]
