[QUOTE="Strathos, post: 64765302, member: 320753"] You have statistics for that? And the fact is that minorities are more often prosecuted for crimes than others (regardless of which crimes), which is just another facet of injustice and prejudice in society. Why would you consider that to be a lie? If you so easily throw doubt on such an account, why would you not subject any contradicting account(s) to the same amount of scrutiny? If you are unwilling to believe this kind of account, what would "hearing both sides" accomplish, unless you were more inclined to believe the contradiction than the victim? That runs completely contrary to the vast majority of incidents I know of. Have you heard of the Steubenville case, for example? Often there is even photographic evidence of rape posted online and the rapists get away with it. Sure, in that case they were eventually convicted, but there were so many people fighting against it and it took far more effort and debate than it should have, considering how convincing the evidence was. And even so they received minimum sentences (1 year each, plus an additional year for one of them for "distributing child inappropriate contentography"). They should not be scrutinized any more than claims of non-sexual assault, mugging, robbery, or any other crime. [/QUOTE]
