Obama’s claim that one in five American women has been a victim of rape or attempted rape
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...t-one-in-five-american-women-have-been-raped/
The survey that formed the basis of Obama’s statement — the 2011 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — was a public-health study. It estimated that 1.9 million American women were raped in the preceding 12-month period. In fact, the survey said that more than 23 million women (19.3 percent) were raped during their lifetime. (The survey’s definition of rape included completed, attempted and “alcohol- or drug-facilitated penetration.”)
But the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), run by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, estimated that there were about 174,000 victims of rapes and sexual assaults in 2012 (and nearly 350,000 total rapes).
Now, tell me, why are so few rape cases prosecuted in the United States?
On a percentage basis, the US cases are as much as 12 times higher than in China. Now do explain why china has only 32,000 rape cases, per year, for a 1.3 billion population?
