- I would like to present a few very depressing statistics:
-
- The most over-reported (i.e. falsely) crime in the US is rape.
- The mos under-reported (silent) crime in the US is rape.
- The second most over-reported crime in the US is sexual harassment.
-
- What do these figures tell us? The real problems are not being
- dealt with, while the perceived problems (unjustified) are
- being attacked.
