COMMENTARY     

Brian Ray (BamNkok, Thailand)
18th January 2007
Of course people in other countries DO NOT have reporting systems like the US and UK. I would love to see how many violent disputes are actually reported in developing nations. Having lived many years in SE Asia I know that domestic violence is accepted and rarely if ever reported. While the graph may be accurate per reported data, I doubt it truly represents societies. Just a thought for what it's worth.

Then this data would allow authorities to look back on their reporting system and compare with the reality such as cheesy newspaper so to speak.
