National Volume, Trends, and Rates with the FBI

During 2004, approximately 94,635 females nationwide were victims of forcible rape. (See Table 1.) This estimate represents a small increase of 0.8-percent from the 2003 number and a 4.9-percent rise from the 2000 figure. However, the 2004 data showed a 2.9-percent decrease when compared to the 1995 estimated volume of female forcible rapes.

In preparing rate tables for inclusion in this report, the UCR Program’s computer system automatically calculates offense rates per 100,000 persons for all Part I crimes. Thus, the rate data that appear in the trend box above and in subsequent tables in this book are based upon the total U.S. population. However, in preparing this narrative, UCR Program staff manually recalculated the 2004 rate of female rapes based upon the national female population provided by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The recalculation resulted in a rate of 63.5 (63.46) rape victims per 100,000 females. The 2004 rate was virtually unchanged from the prior year’s estimate (63.54).

Although the 2004 rate is 1.1 percent higher than the 2000 rate of 62.7, it is 12.4 percent lower than the 1995 rate, which was 72.5 forcible rapes per 100,000 females. (See Tables 1 and 1A.)

Of the forcible rapes in 2004, law enforcement agencies reported that 91.6 percent were completed.
 

 



 

Regardless of content being right or wrong, Steve Chapman with the Chicago Tribune wrote an articleTide turns against rape --but why? June 29 without much research as he suggested that "pornography prevents rape."  A scintilla of research would have produced overwhelming evidence that over 68 - 77% of rapes go unreported. According to the FBI numbers -- July is the month most reporting rapes every year.  The FBI only relates to forcible rape, not ordinary rape, nor other sex crimes.

Chapman is a junkyard dog who protects the lovers of pornography, the addiction for pornography, and sex crimes -- WHEN he suggested that "pornography prevents rape," excluding the evidence about unreported rape.   Only a junkyard dog protects trash. Chapman has caused many readers to relax as our young girls return to college, where the rapes numbers are climbing.

You know that Chapman can write health articles as he did about the transfat used by KFC -- Extra-crispy chicken and deep-fried panic June 18, 2006, but he didn't report on the soldout “Sexual Health Today” conference organized by the Medical Institute for Sexual Health held in Chicago during July 5 - 8, addressing human sexuality as it relates to the whole person, including the physical, emotional and psychological aspects of healthy sexuality.   Evidently, the numbers defining sexual health at this conference wouldn't make it through Chapman's bias toward pornography.

According to Wirthlin Worldwide through The Harris Poll, approximately 33 million or 15 percent of all U.S. adults, admit that they were a victim of domestic violence. Furthermore, six in 10 adults claim that they know someone personally who has experienced domestic violence.

 

From RAPE, ABUSE, INCEST NATIONAL NETWORK or      RAINN: we find rapes still not being reported. The National Crime Victimization Survey includes statistics on reported and unreported crimes in America. Sexual assault is one of the most underreported crimes, with more than half still being left unreported. Utilizing services such as The National Sexual Assault Hotline can help encourage victims to get help and report what has happened to them so that more perpetrators can be brought to justice.

Males are the least likely to report a sexual assault, though it is estimated they make up 10% of all victims. Young females are four times more likely than any other group to be a victim of sexual assault.

  • Every two and a half minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted.
  • One in six American women are victims of sexual assault, and one in 33 men.
  • In 2004-2005, there were an average annual 200,780 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault.
  • About 44% of rape victims are under age 18, and 80% are under age 30.
  • Since 1993, rape/sexual assault has fallen by over 69% due to unreported rape .


-About four out of ten sexual assaults take place at the victim’s own home. Two in ten take place in the home of a friend, neighbor or relative. One in ten take place outside, away from home. And about one in 12 take place in a parking garage.


-Risk peaks in the late teens: girls 16 to 19 are four times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault.
