Rape and Violence: Should Australia be ashamed?

[Casjah]

A woman is NOT raped every few minutes in Australia.
Pull your head out of your arse, you fool.

THIS is how you dispute the official government statistics???

Are you retarded?

Like it or not, Australia has a higher rate of rape and assault than the United States. You also have a higher rate of suicide, by the way. Deal with it asshole.

Why Australia, Sweden have more rapes

(The definition of rape differs…)
NEW DELHI: If we were to go only by numbers, Australia and Sweden would seem to be the rape capitals of the world, with women being most unsafe in these countries.

Of course, the definition of rape differs from country to country and that, coupled with how well the crime is reported and recorded, determines what the numbers are finally going to look like.



This difference in definition would explain why countries like India figure as nations with very low incidence of rape compared to places like Sweden or even Norway and France. For, the case of rape against Julian Assange in Sweden would not even be counted as rape in India.

Moreover, in most countries, even in the developed world, rape is listed as one of the most under-reported crimes. This would be even more so in countries like India. In most countries, the increase in the number of rape cases is often the result of a broadening of the definition of rape, which could explain why some countries like Sweden and Norway show a spike in the crime.

Why Australia, Sweden have more rapes - Times Of India

There are any number of articles pointing out that global crime statistics - maybe apart from homicide - are virtually worthless as one country's rape might be another country's banter.

^ This. Rape is often defined differently by different people, different agencies, and even different governments. Furthermore, it is highly underreported. It's likely higher in all of these countries.

That being said, I am an avid supporter of gun rights. In Kensaw, Georgia it is illegal to not own a gun. It has one of the lowest crime rates in the US. Furthermore, Switzerland's citizens are all armed (no standing army but rather people's militia) and also low crime rate. It's not guns that kill people, it's people. Taking guns away from law abiding citizens will only insure that criminals have them while the average person does not. And if rapists knew that women were likely armed, they would be less likely to prey on victims in that area. They would go to a place with unarmed victims.

Around 90% of rapes are committed by known men.

Guns might make a difference...but maybe not.

To say that Australia has one of the highest rape rates in the world is pure and simply wrong ! We put rape under the category of indecent assault and that is where the problem occurs, because any sexual assault offense whatsoever fits under that term ! Hence the true statistics and numbers of actual physical rapes are not reflected in the statistics used !

The statistics I have provided is from the UN. The UN very clearly defines the criteria for rape when requesting data. It specifically asks for data on forced sex. It does not take into account statutory rapes and things like that unless the girl is under the age of 13. So, yes, Australia does have a very high rate of rape. In addition to that, it tops the list where women were raped by someone they were related to.

Police in Alice Springs have arrested and charged four men in relation to the alleged sexual assault of a 20-year-old woman last week.

They say the woman was walking near the tourist information bay on the Stuart Highway last Tuesday night when the incident occurred.

Detective Superintendent Brent Warren said four men aged 22, 21, 20 and 18 years were arrested late last week and charged.

“The 18-year-old man also had two outstanding arrest warrants for two previous sexual assaults, which occurred in February 2013 and November 2012," he said.

Det Supt Warren said all four had been charged with sexual intercourse without consent, and had been remanded to appear in court today.

NO.
The violent and rapists should be ashamed.
Women walking alone on highways, or anywhere [especially at night] are 'sitting ducks'...it's a very bad idea.

This will happen when you disarm your citizens

There are rapes in other places but the problem is that Australia is very high on the index. According to the UN statistics for 2011, Australia/New Zealand had 25.2 rapes per 100,000 people.

Oh NO! Poor Vikrant, you have fallen into the awful trap of actually BELIEVING UN 'statistics'. I fear for you - promise me that you will never do anything so silly again.

Be wise. Distrust the UN and all its works.

Why is mace illegal? That is the most potent weapon a woman has against a rapist.

If she knows how to point it. My wife forgets the date of her daughter's birth quite regularly.

Australia has no reason to be ashamed.
The men were arrested and locked up.

However, the bastards concerned should be ashamed.

No amount of time in prison for the rapist will be given back to the women rape has devastated. If they live through it they'll live through the act for the rest of their lives.

There was a time not to long ago around here, that when a man raped a woman, the man got a visit from the in-laws, they left with his nutz and sack.

I see rape as an especially vile crime as it can have such terrible effects on the victim and those around her.
For that reason, I believe rapists should receive serious and effective punishments.
I would advocate public flogging as we sometimes see in Malaysia.

Flog them and after the public flogging allow the victim or their family to shoot the rapist between the eyes.

This guy rapes a woman and then escapes from the police custody.
