Most of the rape cases in Australian are by Australian national themselves... not visitors. |

To Chris. In Sydney, Australia, there were recently three Zambian Nationals sentenced to three years jail each for raping a 15 year old girl.There's your answer. Some of the rape statistics for Australia are rapes by visitors to Australia |

Its not happening in any particular country its happening every where. This what we are so called humans? We are more modernized and socialized today then the old times of our history. This is social injustice and isolation from our sacred religions. |

For those disagreeing with the numbers - there is a explanation at the bottom that these stats reflect what Authorities record Not neccesarily actualities in Rapes & Assaults. Obviously there is a big discrepancy for crime that is based on instilled fear by the perpretator, disrespect by the public, disbelief by the public of the victims, a labyrinth of any court system for a victim to get Justice done. This is a crime which still too too many persons, especially males, attempt to pooh poo it's direness, it's horror & even it's happening! When Good Men start satnding up For Vicitms, standing up against sexual bullies, then We'll start getting some real statistics to impress others with. |

The stats on Canada are wrong. There is no crime called "rape" in Canada. These stats are calling every "sexual assault" in Canada a "rape". In Canada, a "sexual assault" could be something as minor as an unwelcome touch on a woman's bottom. Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics |

When last were these stats updated, they should included the 80% of rapes not reported in South Africa, it will then be a true reflection of this barbaric country |

Hi all, i believe maximum rapes have taken place in my own country "india" , but they havnt been proved in the courts which dosnt give them the status of "rapes".!!! |

I think we need to look a little differently into these issues. I dont really believe that the crime rate should be higher in 3rd world countries. Why dont we open our eyes to see that it is really lower. You may be living in a developed country, but that does not mean your ethics are better than those in the 3rd world. It is awful to think you are "good" because you live in a developed country and others are "bad" because they are in a 3rd world country. |

"DEFINITION: Total recorded rapes. Crime statistics are often better indicators of prevalence of law enforcement and willingness to report crime, than actual prevalence. Per capita figures expressed per 1,000 population." They are taking about reported rapes |

Chris to answer your question, Third world Countries such as the ones you mentioned Im sure have higher counts of rape but the Lack Any Kind of organized Government and lack any kind of Organized Criminal Justice sytem. They Don't Have the resource to carry out such statistical surveys and Many of those third world countries don't care. However most of the Countries Listed Above DO have Such Resources and report their findings as such. |

Why do the totals come from a 2002 UN report and the per capita come from a 1998-2000 UN report? You can't just extrapolate from population size from the 2002 report? How can you people seriously consider yourselves serious statiticians? |

This page needs to be changed to REPORTED rapes per capita. |
|
Chris 6th July 2009 |
These statistics are rediculous ! How can Austarlia have the 3rd highest per capita rape rate compared to 3rd world countries and the ganglands and drug worlds of South America, etc ?!!! |
|
BOB 24th May 2009 |
These statistics are terrible. Every other source i can find says that the united states has a higher rape rate in the first world. If this is wrong i bet all the other stats are wrong aswell. Also the homicide rate stats are wrong |
|
jill 12th May 2009 |
