In the United States, a rape is reported about once every five minutes. (FBI Uniform Crime Report, 1997)

Rape is called "the most underreported violent crime in America." In a large national survey of American women, only 16% of the rapes (approximately one out of every six) had ever been reported to the police. (Rape in America: A Report to the Nation, National Victim Center, 1992)

In a study conducted by the Department of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, researchers interviewed 8,000 women and 8,000 men. Using a definition of rape that includes forced vaginal, oral, and anal intercourse, the survey found that 1 in 6 women had experienced an attempted rape or a completed rape.

At the time they were raped:

22% were under the age of twelve
54% were under the age of eighteen
83% were under the age of twenty-five

(Prevalence, Incidence, and Consequences of Violence Against Women, Department of Justice, 1998)

In the Rape in America study, 60% of the women who reported being raped were under 18 years old:

29.3% were less than 11 years old
32.3% were between 11 and 17
22.2% were between 18 and 24
7.1% were between 25 and 29
6.1% were older than 29
3.0% age was not available

(Rape in America: A Report to the Nation, National Victim Center, 1992)

Acquaintance rape is much more prevalent than stranger rape. In a study published by the Department of Justice, 82% of the victims were raped by someone they knew (acquaintance/friend, intimate, relative) and 18% were raped by a stranger.

(From a report on Violence Against Women based on data from the National Crime Victimization Survey, Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1995)

In the Rape in America study, 80% of the girls and women who were raped were victimized by someone they knew. (Rape in America: A Report to the Nation National Victim Center, 1992)

Many surveys have been conducted to determine the prevalence and incidence of rape and sexual assault. The differences in findings across these various surveys are related to how rape and sexual assault are defined, characteristics of the sample selected for study, screening questions, interviewer training and techniques, and other methodological and procedural issues. However, in virtually every victimization survey conducted, the number of unreported rapes and sexual assaults far exceeds those that are reported to authorities.

It seem the US Department of Justice did not get Abe Foxman's blessings before publishing its report - "Prevalence, Incidence, and Consequences of Violence Against Women, Department of Justice, 1998"

PITY!

It's also a pity that a place like Saudi Arabia, which is really meant to be the perfect Islamic state, isn't it (due to the fact that no other religion is allowed there), can't keep control of its people to the extent that so many of them appear to be rapists and murderers.

Gosh - they almost look as bad as any given democracy, eh?

Kim... 

You must have a 'baby memory'. You keep on forgetting that I told you before that the only country 'close' to an Islamic State is Iran - or perhaps some day Israel under HAMAS - did I scare you?

Whatever. I said "meant to be". Just like the USA is "meant to be" a safe and free place, but as shown by your stats - it isn't.

By the way- are you obssessed with sex and violence? It appears that you are. Maybe we need to find you a nice, dominatrix Muslima for you to marry so you get a bit of everything.

Kim...

No country can be safe from the 'evil doers' - However they can be put on 'rope' if Islamic Shari'ah is applied.

Yes I am obsessed in exposing the 'evil doers', who happens to be mostly - according to my Jew professor Henry Makow, PhD. How about you - Do you LOVE those criminals?

I don't even understand what you wrote. I assume you left some words out.

Oh yes - and killing people for crimes is SO effective! It stops ALL crime, doesn't it? And innocent people NEVER get killed by mistake, do they?

Well if you dare to read the UN crime status in Saudi Arabia or Islamic Iran - you fall from your chair.

Really? Perhaps you better ask Saudi femal enewsreaders about the crime rates over there.

Oh yeah - women are _possessions_! It doesn't matter if you kick a _chair_.

Oh, and I imagine that reported crime rates are extremely low in SA - let's face it, if you're a slave in a house - how do you escape to tell anyone? How do you get to a police station if you can't drive?

Kim...

i really feel sorry for you guys .. it's really clear you envy us   i'm saudi girl and i'm the only one ( in this islamicity ?   lol )who can tell you about female in KSA

hmm so females here

 1- we control our guys ( i know it's not good to control men but this is what saudi gal does)

2- we live like princesses  .. we have our own maids and drivers

3- crimes here are rare ...

 Iran is a muslim? lol yeah right and they think Ali is the messenger..lol   .

so hmm  guys , try to REAd Quran if you are really muslims  and then you'll find why saudi arabia is the only islamic country..

and please stop talking ** about us

Amal, saudi girl , Mecca

Like Princesses, huh? Your own drivers? And what happens to you if your men decide to take your drivers away?

And how well do your maids get paid? Do maids live like princesses too? Or are they not Muslims or Saudis so it doesn'tg matter how they live?

Princess? I'd rather make my own decisions and have men who could stand on their own without me. We don't need to depend on each other because we have no lives of our own - we choose to be together.

Kim... 

if men take our drivers, we will drive ...lol

well some of saudi girls depend on themselves and they still live like princesses .

most of our maids are muslims so they live in our big houses..

nowadays 97% of saudi girls can do anything they want and they make their own decitions

i'm sure you have not seen any saudi girls and you do not know how they live so if you are a muslim , come and see how saudi gals live ..

- Amal

Really? You wouldn't be imprisoned (or worse) for driving?

And yes, I do know some Saudi girls - they're the ones who float around our school like shadows, almost completely silent. But the oldest of them is intending on taking driving lessons...   :)

Kim... 

how do you know they are real saudis?

do not be silly like the black woman( Oprah )who was talking about saudi women  and she knows nothing ...

 - Amal

I work at an English Langauge School. I know where the students come from.

Kim...

lol yeah but you do not know if they are real REAL saudis ( native) ok? you know some people came from other countries and became saudis so they are not Real and they will never be ....lol

anyway it's hard to explain that to you . And i'm bored to talk about this subject so have a nice day , kim

- Amal, a real saudi girl from makkah

".....a real saudi girl from makkah"

Makkah al Mukarramah!

It is impossible to compare crime rates... because americas population is much larger... ofcopurse it looks alot worse because of the numbers..

Kechup,

Are you drunk or on medication? Capitalism is abuse!

Get a grip and stop working for the state. We know you are an appologist for the big boys.

So if your are not born in Saudi Arabia you are a sub standard human? Damn even America doesn't have such high standards, we welcome all whites to our country, well except the french. :)

I hope you all can see the sarcasim in my statement.

Ok, simulated acts of sex is not rape, just wanted to point that out to you. I don't know of any convictions yet that involved rape of POWs so if you can show PROOF of this by all means do so.
