Kathy 22nd August 2010 |
Amy, thank you for your support. Oddly enough, I work in an office with about 15 males and the same number of women and almost all of the males agree with me. There is hope for us after all. (well maybe they do not agree that women are superior but they all agree rapist should be executed and may have literally said they need to be "hung by their bal-s" Of course I will not argue with that and in fact, I would tie the rape around their testicles |

Many years ago, they use to execute rapist. Now that they do not, it seems rape has increased many times. Are they afraid of what would happen to the male population if all rapists were executed? How many more males would be executed if they included child molesters? However many males would disappear, it would only improve society to rid ourselves of this kind and remember, Russia lost half its male population and survived just fine. In fact, it did better as they found that women were able to do everything the males did and often they did it better. That alone shows that what Kathy said below is right on target. |

These stats are from 2002. Here are from 2008 (by UN): http://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/Crime-statistics/Sexual_violence_sv_against_children_and_rape.xls South Africa is #1 and Sweden #2. Sweden doubles the number for US, which is placed #4. However there are apparently not stats avaible for many countries. Still, the amount of rapes/citizen in Sweden seems to have six-tupled since the 80's. |

They always talking about Human Right, Feminism, and always talk bad something about islam. In fact, they are immoral. Islam shariah is solution. |
|
ali 5th August 2010 |
Its time to implement the sharia as like the Saudi, because their justification for crimes such as Rapes, Robbery, Murders, Adultery, and Prostitution is very good. The countries should implement those punishments as Islam ordered and particularly AMERICA, coz the crime rate is very high particularly RAPES. The US also rapes to other nations by its policies. Inshallah, that day is very near that all countries will be United and taught it (US)a lesson............... |

What Holy book, follow who ? The man responsible for this book murdered and raped without mercy. |

I applaud those who question the methods and considerations when creating these statistics rather than a few individuals who repeatedly portray these results due to our religious affiliation. I come from a family who originates from a communist country where almost all perceptions of facts are skewed and rights for women are much more minimized than people believe. Although the 'apparent' risk may seem to be higher for women in Westernized countries, I have to say that rape vs. no rights for women (in certain countries) are comparable misfortunes. |
|
Hamud 11th July 2010 |
Islam has the solution for problems of man kind including rape. No wonder it is the faster growing religion in the world. Let's and wait see how these stats would go down when the whole of humanity accepts Islam and abide by the Sharia. |

Real 2nd July 2010 |
This is also, REPORTED rapes. The are nowhere near the real statistics. Some country's consider "rape" as forceful sex and some consider sex with a minor rape...The definition is different. |
|
Maumu 2nd July 2010 |
Women dont have minds of their own until their legal consenting age to have sex. Thats is why below that age, consent by a woman is considered null and the man is prosecuted for raping the woman, haha! |
|
us woman 28th June 2010 |
Understand, that is the USA, it is also considered rape, and part of the statistics when two consenting teenagers have intercourse and the parents report it and take legal action against the teen that is not their child. This isn't really rape as we are thinking when we think rape, but it is a large part of the statistics used in this study. |
|
Hammad+Mian 18th June 2010 |
This is United States of America who talks about Woman freedom. Now see the results of that so called freedom. This is United States of America where man covers his body and woman walks outside almost naked and propogates the men by displaying her body parts. |
|
Hammad Mian 18th June 2010 |
Such Rape cases will remain continue until the woman will not cover her body. |

Jason 14th June 2010 |
Irshad, Islam was founded by a man who raped and married a 6 year old, which is rape in any civilized society. Aisha was 6 when he "married" her. And after the Jews of Saudi Arabia were beheaded for not following Mohammed, the women were raped by the Muslims. Simple history of Islam. Read Said al Bukhari. Mohammed taught and advocated rape when he said "take women your right hand possesses in combat". |

yusuf Ahmed 29th May 2010 |
Although a mention has been made, as to the reliability of statistics, I think more effort needs to be made on your part to classify same. I am in a country were crime is so rampant the norm here is a crime only recorded if they go to court, which excludes all rape, burglary and crimes against those who cann t aford to go to court. Rape is hardly ever recorded and is dealt with secretly. Everybody steals, all the way to the top of government, stealing is part of our way of life and is even celebrated, some don t even consider it a crime untill it is done to them. As for rape, its a girls bad luck, and bad judgement to put herself in a situation where she can be raped |

Kathy 28th May 2010 |
Trudy, it is not the US people who have a have a rapist attitude, it is the males who treat women as inferiors because they can get away with it. In reality, I think these males know that it is the male who is the inferior gender and if we taught our children from grade school up the reality of this fact, these boys would learn to treat women with respect and maybe someday males would learn that it is not a sign of weakness to admit they are the weaker sex and these males could seek help in the many areas they are weak in. |
|
Trudy 26th April 2010 |
The US people want to top every thing including rapes... they have a rapist attitude... The also rape poor females from other countries like Iraq, Iran, Palestine etc..... |

Don A. Herrington 18th April 2010 |
Re: comment about most rape cases in the Philippines, not so. Rape is veryh uncommon here. Rape is always under reported in all countries, but these figures look about right for me, another reason this American is living in the Philippines and loving it. |
|
Kathy 8th April 2010 |
The best way to stop rape is to excute the males who rape. I doubt that will happen because most of these countries would be afraid their male population would decrease too much. That would be OK with me as we could get along without males like that. |
|
Simon 27th March 2010 |
I think it goes to reporting, the USA ,Canada and Australia have very rigorous polic e reporting procedures.Also stigmatisation of rape victims is far less likely to occur in those countries, wheras in India the opposite is true. |
|
Huseyin Icen 16th March 2010 |
This statistics clearly says that European countries needs "ISLAM" to reduce the rape statistics & other crimes. adnan Dear dear! Communist countries had the lowest crime rates in the world. Does this also clearly say that European countries need "COMMUNISM" to etc. etc.? Talk about Muslim communism or 'submarine with sails"... |

Martin Hedington - South Africa 14th March 2010 |
Apart from other issues, one must surely wonder at who's stats are used in -for example- South Africa. Even when considering so-called 'reported' rape, our own *police stats* on rape were estimated by our own Medical Research Council to reflect probably only one ninth of the actual reported total just a few years ago. Given that the South African Police are now pretty much accepted by most to be manipulating data to suit their own agenda, people should draw their own conclusions from any country with a known 'politically motivated' government. Then again, which country doesn't? |
|
Ryan 11th March 2010 |
CANADA? CANADA is third per capita (which is a stupid measurement) BUT more, importantly...THIRD IN TOTAL? We are country of 34.1 million people and we have more (reported, granted) rapes than in India. Wow. |
|
siraj 8th March 2010 |
I am really astonished to see that the countries who talk about the freedom and rights for women are topping the list of rapes.They should see to their facts first before talking about some other countries. |
|
Mohamed 10th February 2010 |
The reason that we have alot of rape cases in this countries is that they dont follow the teaching of the Holy Book AL QURAAN AL KAREEM besides all this countries are not muslim countries. Give it a trial and follow the teaching of the holly book and you will find the benefit of it. |

The proper way out to have a good grade is to get the really interesting essay writing example or ideas just about this good post, or just get know just about all about us selecting the essay writing firm. |

JASON CRUZ 28th December 2009 |
AMERICA HAS THE MOST RAPES BECAUSE WOMEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY NO TO HAVE SEX WITH MEN. |
|
BSCowboy 17th December 2009 |
Let's imagine these numbers are correct. Then, rape occurs almost 3 time more frequently in Australia than in America. |
|
Bilal 7th December 2009 |
Its pretty easy to skew the statistics when the US is the only country reporting them. The US aint the only country reporting them buddy. every 1 in 5 female cadets in the US Airforce Academy is raped by a superior officer. and those are only the reported cases. source: oprah. |
|
Ak 11th November 2009 |
Way to Go US... You are the Leading Country even in RAPES |

Irshad 28th October 2009 |
To schoolkid, Please have a look at http://www.irf.net/ to know the beauty of Islam before posting comments. Irshad |

schoolkid 26th October 2009 |
@ adnan Yeah, because islam makes it legal....great idea! |

adnan 21st October 2009 |

|
Michael 2nd October 2009 |
The reason that the US is so high is simple. The US, Canada and a few European countries are the only countries where a majority of the rapes ARE reported. Whereas in countries such as Pakistan, a woman runs the danger of being killed by her own family if she does report it. I'd venture to say that 99% of the rapes in 99% of the countries are NOT REPORTED. Its pretty easy to skew the statistics when the US is the only country reporting them. |

Murp Smith 11th September 2009 |
This is fake statistic.. Why I can't find country like Philippines, China and etc in the list? Where infact Philippines is one of the most rape cases occur. |
|
SouthAfricanBoy 25th August 2009 |
Bloody South African People. We are best at everything, including Rugby. |

annab 19th August 2009 |
I am shocked by these statistics! We have a lot of sick people in the U.S. I wonder why our Country is so high. Maybe there should be be a strengthening in our laws.....yeah? |
|
Canada? Australia? 25th June 2009 |
Why are Canada's and Australia's figures so high? On a per capita basis they must make it into the top 5 countries in the world. |
|
Shariq Jamal 20th June 2009 |
I am convinced that the US is the rape capital of the world. |
|
RebeccaSmith 27th May 2009 |
THESE STATS ARE EGREGIOUSLY WRONG !!! look up interpol, who states that South Africa is the "rape capitol" of the entire world. |
|
Edria Murray Staff Editor 26th May 2005 |
In response to Pteridude: At first glance the United States appears to stand out as it has significantly more rapes than other countries. This is misleading however as the United States also has a significantly higher population. To take the population into account click the per capita link at the top of this page. Under per capita ranking, the United States falls to number 9 and the rate is only one quarter of that of South Africa. which has the highest per capita rate. |

Suchita Vemuri Staff Editor 8th April 2005 |
In response to 'DudeReloaded' - The US Government Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (in 2002) reports that the military in Myanmar (Burma) is using rape as a weapon against civilian populations in the ethnic regions of the country. But, officially, crime is very low in Myanmar (Burma) and falling. Strictly monitored by a military government, the veracity of the reports are questionable. Reporting and monitoring of crime in democratic Thailand, on the other hand, is known to be effective. |

Ian Graham Staff Editor 2nd March 2005 |
According to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN) Statistics website , there were 247,730 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault in the United States in 2002. Approximately 87,000 of these were victims of completed rape. Probability statistics compiled by the National Center for Policy Analysis from Department of Justice statistics reveal that in the U.S. there is a 50.8 percent chance that an arrest will be made if a rape is reported. Eighty percent of those arrested for rape are prosecuted and 58 percent of those prosecuted are convicted. If there is a conviction, there is a 69 percent chance that the perpetrator will be jailed. In 2001, only 39 percent of rapes and sexual assaults in the U.S. were reported to police. When unreported rapes are taken into account, it is estimated that only 6 percent of U.S. rapists (one out of 16) will ever spend a day in jail. |
