This is the Situation

Included below are some statistics from various websites and agencies that report on this. Bear in mind that by the time these agencies sift and sort and are finally ready to publish, the information is already 2 years or more old, so finding current information is nearly impossible.

One other thing that needs to mentioned, these facts are not being presented in order to inspire fear or paranoia, but to make you aware that the situation is not good and, perhaps, inspire you to take a more active role in your own well-being.

FBI Statistics

Here is a link to the FBI site where these numbers were found: www.fbi.gov

Something that you may have picked up on reading through that list is that these statistics, as bad as they are, only apply to the number of reported rapes or attempts. When you think of the number that, for whatever reason, go unreported, the outlook is even more dim.

RAINN Statistics

The site where these staistics were found is here: www.rainn.org

No matter how you look at it, the situation is not good here in America.
