Not that I disagree with the sentiments... I'd sure like to see those stats broken down. Are they including statutory rape in those statistics? Because I see that as a different (equally heinous) crime.

And how do the countries rank if reported as a per capita statistic... For example, the US has 9-10 times the total population of Canada but less than 4 times the number of rapes as reported above.


It's also a bit skewed because a lot of countries define rape differently... and don't officially report their statistics in the same way. I'm sure there are a few countries where rapes aren't reported at all... because being raped is the "crime"... at least socially. Those countries aren't even listed.
