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.
Yes,your figures could be right but we ensure every rape etc., is exposed and importantly recorded which other countries do not......we do not sweep anything under the carpet.....even Rapes by US service personel here on R and R.........steve our statistics are always accurate,as with New Zealand.......shame the rest of the world is not so forth coming.
Well I checked out the statistics and Australia and the US have the same Rape statistics at 28% per 100,000 but Alaska has 11 times higher rate than the American average!!!!!
Violent Crime Rapes....The USA tops the list at NUMBER ONE,13 times higher than Australia.
The following is most disturbing for the USA
Current or former partners who Rape........Relative........Friend or Acquaintance..........Stranger
USA...........................26%............................7% ...........................38%..............................26%
Australia....................56% ...........................10% ..........................27%...............................8%
Re done for clarity
As is clearly shown Vik., your one liner about Australia shows that the Violent Rapes and Rapes by Strangers is extremely higher in America......may be you wish to comment....by the way these figures do not include Rapes in Jail,which were over 230,000 .
footnote.Trust you are well and the family Vik
