COMMENTARY     

John (USA)

The number given to Australia is incorrect. That is the number of Sexual assaults not rape. Rape is included in the sexual assault figure for australia as a part of how they gather violent crime stats, while the US does not include sexual assault only rape figures. Don't judge to quickly. Check with how each country collects and defines violent crime before you pass judgement.

"THIS PROVES HOW LUSTFUL AMERICANS ARE."

America has a huge population so it is natural that it will have a high rape rate. When you look at rape per capita, America drops to number 9 in the charts.
