The Trib and the PG report on Pittsburgh's crime stats for the past year, issued by the DOJ just yesterday. Overall, crime has increased (2.6%). The good news is that 15 fewer rapes were reported in 2006.
Reported. No one reading this list is naive enough to think that 15 fewer rapes occured. According to RAINN (Rape Abuse & Incest National Network), over 59% of rapes remain unreported. I've seen stats as high as 75%.
We all know too many women who don't report. Sigh. I can't even write more.

ReplyDeleteSome questions for you about this stat.
Are these reported or unreported rapes since the victims were killed and could not report the rape?
The Making of a Proper Victim
Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom murder
Were these included in the stat you quote.
Does that stat include statutory rapes such as a 16 year not saying anything about having consensual sex with her 19 year old boyfriend to keep him out of trouble?
That is an awesome photo for you, heir, especially for here.
