i have this odd feeling the whole story isn't being shared here

The US is leading in number of rapes per year. It has about 400 million people. INDIA which gets a lot of heat for its "rape culture" has over a BILLION people, and has less rapes per year.
That's because many rapes aren't reported out of fear or peer pressure. You can't just throw around statistics like that without understanding the context around it.

Since we're on the topic of Britain let's compare the crime commuted by population with that of the US. Lets calculate this. 20,725 rapes were commited in England and Wales according to the British Crime Survey, which is a contractor for the Home Office. I'm going to say they are reliable.

"The population of the UK grew to 64.1 million in mid-2013, representing a gain of 400,600 (0.63%) over the previous year mid-2012.  This growth is slightly below the average since 2003." - http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/pop-estimate/population-estimates-for-uk--england-and-wales--scotland-and-northern-ireland/2013/index.html

UK - 64.1 million people and 20,725 rapes = 0.03% of the population reported rape.

US - 313 million people and 83,425 rapes = 0.02% of the population reported rape.

According to these statistics, the UK has a higher degree of rape in it's population than the US.

forget off you turd.

i guarantee india has more rapes but they go unreported
There are plenty of rapes that go unreported in every country, including the US.
And even if the actual number is more than the actual number in the US, consider the comparative size of the population, with India being 4 times bigger than that of the US.

Iirc 99% of rapes form india aren't reported because the women are afraid of the men
Not unlikely, but I'd be hesitant to accept a 99% rate of rapes not being reported.]
Were that the case, and 24k is just 1%, that'd mean that 240k rapes actually occur, which is a staggering 20% of the entire population being raped.
I'm not to say how high it is, but that still seems crazy high for a country that does have a significant rape culture.

forget off you turd.
Is that tallying in US prison rapes, which should be very high, given the US has a proportionally larger prison population than many other countries.

I was exaggerating because I didn't have an exact figure, it's probably less but i'm near certain it's at least half. Plus, people can be raped more than once you know.

Ask Biostorm, I took the statistic from him.

No it's not because most prison rapes go unreported.

Ask Biostorm, I took the statistic from him.
From the article he posted then it does seem to just cover rapes of females, so it's not an entirely accurate statistic for either side.
There's certainly an ample number of rapes that occur in prison populations, particularly of males, that don't go reported or are simply ignored.
And I'm sure in both countries there are also rapes of men/boys that go equally unreported for the societal reasons.


To be honest, on the topic of it all, I find Pakistan much more disgusting, as it has a very similar rape culture to India, but it's often applied to young boys too.
Often times those young boys who are raped by other men are kicked out of their families for having let themselves be tarnished.
And many rape victims then go on to rape others later on in age.

It's all a dodgy situation wherever it takes place in the world, and it's a particularly petty thing to argue who's country is best on the grounds of how many rapes occur.
To be completely frank, no country should be proud while there are any rapes that continue to go on, particularly those unreported, and those of vulnerable people.

You're getting out of bounds here, that entire thing was a response to Furdle's unsubstantiated claim that the US was the rape capital of the world.

these threads start to take really predictable turns

africa (being a continent, not a country, i know) probably has the largest volume of unrecorded rapes per country.

and don't say i'm being tribal because it's probably true. there's a low amount of government in many places.

Furdle's post was all a retort at you bringing up the Rotherham rapes. So it was all just a big pissing contest from the start.
