Reply #5: i have read in various places, so many of the rapes reported are able to stay OUT of FBI statistics

[seabeyond]

when they put it together and demanding lowering of crimes, police departments across the nation have found ways to label rape so it is not in fbi statistics. that is what is so frustrating for me, when talking about rape on du, men inevitably say... see, rape has dropped an outrageous amount. though, that is not the reality

since fbi has it as dropped, then we must not have a problem with rape in our society

saw somewhere in the fbi site saying right off, rape number cannot be taken seriously as 30%-70% rapes are not reported.

geeesh, just the fact they have such a huge span tells you how we dont have accurate number on rapes, let alone the amounts that are going unreported.

i was talking to four women. there were five rapes amongst them. one woman never raped. all five rapes were not reported.
