Hi i didn't know 15,630 people get raped every year!!! Is this info true.....? |
replica 20th April 2010 |
Nicole, this information is at the very least very outdated. Car Theft rate is lest than half here (3.19 per 1000 in 2008, down from 6.9 alleged here), burglary rate was 16.9 per 1,000 in 2005 (down from 21.7 here), Robberies were .772 per 1,000 in 2007, 31% lower than here. Rapes appear to be all forms of sexual assault, I can't any info on rapes singularly. -- removed bit about death penalty hopes it doesn't posted rolls eyes -- |

Rapes appear to be all forms of sexual assault, I can't any info on rapes singularly. I'm not sure how we have executed 1,900 criminals, lol. Even if they were counting ones prior to it being abolished in 1967, I doubt we'd match up against the UK. In fact, there were 114 in the 20th century. Also, notable is the absence of countries which actually have the death penalty, such as the US. |

Copyright and computer based fraud are two completely overlooked crimes all over the world, and people like publishers of Limewire seem to get off without a slap on the wrist. These two crime cost the Australian Government millions of dollars each year. |

In response to shahid: The country with the highest reported total per capita crime rate is Dominica followed by New Zealand and Finland. For further information on total crimes or particular types of crime such as murder, drug offences, assault or car theft see the crime category. In order to achieve a fair comparison, all crime statistics should be viewed per capita. It should also be noted that crime statistics only include reported crime. Crime is more likely to be reported when people feel that they can report crime to the police and have confidence in the police and the legal system. |
