A Look At The U.S. and the World
Rape
In 2000, the United Nations did a survey of 70 countries around the world and the average country had an average of 15.2 annual reports of rapes per 100,000 inhabitants. Note, these were only the rapes that were reported!
In 1999, the U.S. rate was 32.1, making it the 9th highest out of 70 countries; South Africa had the highest rate in 2000 with 123.9 reported rapes. (Source: "Gains and Gaps. A Look at the World's Women", From the National Council for Research on Women)
About Me
