2019 Rape Statistics
Rape is defined as a nefariously villainous exploitation and act carried out aggressively and violently by the perpetrator (rapist) through sexual acts against the victim's will. As a world-wide, ongoing problem which affects millions upon millions of people (mainly women) every year, rape is a cause of much concern, especially in recent years.
Why?
According to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey which was conducted in 2010, one in five women and one in 71 men alone will be raped at some point in their life. Backed by studies which have been conducted for almost 20 years ago, the Bureau of Justice recuperated by the Department of Justice statistics in 2002 stated rape to be considered the most unreported crime to exist as victims fear they will be shamed or simply not believed. Victims are also sometimes ignored by law enforcement and when they are taken seriously, there are instances where the rapist isn't prosecuted properly for their crime.
