LMBO!I usually have to pay women a LOT of money to do that so if it's being offered for free...wow! Thank you!! LOL!!!
Here are a few statistics, with my comments inserted, from a 1998 study - I doubt much has changed in ten years.
Only 16% of rapes and sexual assaults are reported to the police (Rape in America: A Report to the Nation. 1992). In 1995 there were 97,460 rapes reported to law enforcement officials. At a 16% reporting rate, this means that there were actually closer to 649,733 rapes in the United States. Along the same lines, the number of rapes reported in New York state in 1996 was 20,911. At a 16% reporting rate, this means the actual number of rapes was closer to 139,406. (Computerized Criminal History, Feb. 1998)
The rate of false reports of rape is approximately 2 - 3% which is no different than that for other crimes. This is different than the 8% of reports which are unfounded. This means that in 8% of the rape cases reported the investigators or prosecutors deemed that the case was not prosecutable for any number of reasons. Only 2 - 3% of the reports however were fabricated stories.
The above is an important fact, since there is a tendency for men who are fearful of women 'crying rape' after the fact to exaggerate false reporting numbers. -B
In 1997, 68.3% were perpetrated by someone who knew the victim. (Bureau of Justice's National Crime Victimization Survey, 1997) 78% of women raped or physically assaulted since they turned 18 were assaulted by a current or former husband, live-in partner or date. 17% were victimized by an acquaintance, 9% by a relative other than a husband and only 14% were assaulted by a stranger. (National Violence Against Women Survey, 1998)
Notice, by far the largest number of adult rapes are perpetrated by former partners. There is little doubt in these cases that the motives are rage and vengeance. Although the study doesn't mention it, these are under-reported crimes, as women often get little support when accusing a former lover of rape. - B
Rape and sexual assault are not crimes that usually occur in dark alleys or in deserted areas at night. As a matter of fact 6 out of 10 sexual assaults occur in the home of the victim or the home of a friend, neighbor or relative. (Greenfeld, 1997) 43.4% of rapes and sexual assaults occur between the hours of 6PM and midnight Greenfeld, 1997) and about two thirds occur between the hours of 6 PM and 6 AM (Greenfeld, 1997).

Im surprised it's that many that are ex's. I guess that changes my outlook a bit on the ratio of when it's just about control. I'll keep that opinion just for serial rapists, then. Pretty large number.
he was not taught good christian morals and the value of human life and personhood
Like I said, I partially agree and can appreciate the position. The main problem is putting "sex" at the center of rape. Also, by equating sexual images as a rape contributor it's trying to equate sex with rape. There are millions of men and women who view sexually graphic images yet none of them commit rape. The causation theory being presented lacks sufficient criteria while simultaneously forcing illegitimate criteria to reach a conclusion that is fundamentally off base. In order to show causation the equation needs to have and distinguish between sufficient, insufficient, necessary, and unnecessary components.

That is some great info but iam always weary of stats based on any "unreported" crime. It's impossible to say what percentage is unreported so it could be lower or higher but the impact should remain.
People also make the mistake of defining rape by the many myths that surround the crime.
I doubt these statistics are very far off reality. I'm personally aware of dozens of unreported assaults and rapes, and a much smaller number of reported cases, as I'm sure are most women who socialize with other women at all. For the most part, women don't 'brag' about being raped; they tell each other their stories in order to seek comfort or to assure another victim that they are not alone in the experience.
A fair percentage of women are not willing to deal with the ordeal of going through reporting a rape, invasive medical examination within hours of the rape, questioning by police, and the whole criminal court system, with a good possibility that the rapist/assaulter will either go free or get a very short sentence, unless they have been physically badly injured in the attack. Especially when it is an ex that's committed the crime, when it can be very difficult to prove non-consent unless the victim's been severely beaten.
That there are myths about rape is proven by this thread, where we see the usual excusing of rapists and victim blaming. And of course, the myth that strangers late at night in dark alleys are the most common rapist, when it's more likely to happen in your own home, and by someone you know.

Let's try a mirror theory. If sexually arousing imagery contributes to rape, and not merely sexual desire, then it must be okay for a woman to shoot an ugly guy because he is killing her sexual drive. Since we need women for pro-creation we should permit them to remove any obstacles impeding pro-creation. Therefore, it isn't her fault she shot an ugly guy. It's the guy's fault for poor attire, hygiene, and physical characteristics. Now, before this gets dismissed as pure silliness, take that conviction and understand that is how we are seeing the theory that sexual imagery increases a sexual drive and rape is a consequence.
Im sorry but that is not reality. A high sex drive will always contibute to rape and the rapist acting on his desires. Many rapists are known to be addicted to pornography and things like S&M. Problem is the urges took over them and they acted them out in real life. Again if it was just power then there would be no intercourse(because arousal is required for intercourse to happen). Why do you think rape was alot less common centurys ago than it is today? Rape has risen because people are being bombared with sexual images and the sexualization of human beings in the media every day. A person can't turn on the TV anyone without seeing some type of sexual theme, soap opera, or some girls gone wild infomercial with women dancing shaking their skin all over the place. Im sorry but with the increase of rapes in the country I can only point my finger at the liberal media, the feminists and the secular world and say "you contibuted to this"..WHen you raise children in a godless world, with Godless parenting, and a Godless school curriculum you create Godless uncaring people
The bolded sections. I object to unsupported claims, so...
...I'm sure someone knows what I'm about to say...since research is my love...
...post proof or retract. Peer-reviewed studies from reputable organizations. Google Scholar is your friend.
sidhe - likes porn, likes S&M, was raised /w Godless parenting in a Godless school curriculum, and thinks rape is possibly worse than murder, since at least there's no suffering for the victim post-mortem with a murder.
Why do you think rape was alot less common centurys ago than it is today?
Actually, the exact opposite is true.Ths sex industry has contributed to rape in society, by feeding the fire of potential rapists.
*wince* alcohol and "drugs" aren't sexual enhancers... alcohol is a depressent, what it depresses are the inhibition centres, which is why a drunk person might do something they wouldn't normally do. as for your claim that "drugs" are sexual enhancers, what drugs are we talking about/ Drugs is a fairly generic term.The more sexual drive increases the more the chance for rape could happen. WHy do you think a large percentage of rapes happen on alcohol or drugs? which are sexual enhancers.

WHy do you think a large percentage of rapes happen on alcohol or drugs? which are sexual enhancers. Why do college women have the highest risk of rape in society? because they are surround by young men with raging hormones who have been immersed in a sexual society.
I have a very high sexual drive, and I don't think I'm ever likely to rape anybody.
you don't know anything about what your talking about. Rape has nothing to do with sexual drive? are you serious?
