These statistics are only in the US, though. Havent looked into other countries.


I did not know that, before. BUT, its not women committing the rapes (for the most part. Women, can and do) unfortunately, (unless you live in Russia.Whats up with that?!?)

1 in 5 men that go to prison end up getting ass raped. While there's all kinds of organizations and education about rape against women, men that get raped in prison have no protections. The guards don't give a sh*t and turn their heads and look the other way.

140,000 men (in jail only, though) vs. 354,670 women (1995 data, bureau of justice statistics)

Women still win. Not that it's a good thing.

Keep in mind, male rape in prison is way underreported due to the humiliation factor of getting f*cked by another man. Not only that, but threats on the person's life if he rats someone out to the officers.

Actually...

prisoners report more rape committed by guards than by other prisoners

There has NEVER been a year in the U.S. where 354,670 women were raped!

Here are the FBI's own numbers:

Across the nation from 1988 until 2007 the worst year for all rapes was 1992 with 109,062 forcible rapes (both genders).

In the year 2007, forcible rapes was down to 90,427. I believe elsewhere on the FBI's website you'll find that they believe that rape is under reported by about 37%. If we adjust the numbers for, let's say an even 40%, in 1992 that would mean the actual total is 152,686 and in 2007 126,597.

The NCVS is only for crimes reported to the police. Prison rape does not get reported to the police, and is not included. I doubt there is an accurate statistical breakdown comparing prison, and outside rapes.

That's weird. The US Department of Justice reports 272,350 rapes/sexual assaults in 2006, whereas the FBI reports only reports 92,757 for the same year.

I'm looking at the tables on page 3. I see what you mean.

According to the interweb:

The UCR (Uniform Crime Reports) reports on crimes that are reported to, and then reported by, the police. The NCVS reports on what is said by people surveyed through the National Crime Victimization Survey; it includes crimes that aren't reported to the police, and aspects of crimes that aren't reported to or by the police.

Each has possible flaws: The UCR doesn't cover unreported crimes, and in some ways reflects police classification decisions more than anything else. The NCVS is more prone to error as a result of respondent mistakes or falsifications, since no-one investigates the respondents' claims.

Nice to see American law enforcement can't get it's act together.
