I was on RAINN-Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network site and came accross some numbers that were troubling.
Key Facts
Every two and a half minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted.
One in six American women are victims of sexual assault, and one in 33 men.
In 2004-2005, there were an average annual 200,780 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault.
About 44% of rape victims are under age 18, and 80% are under age 30.
Since 1993, rape/sexual assault has fallen by over 69%.
If these figures are true, even with rape/sexual assault crimes dropping over 69%, there are still 576 people getting raped or assaulted every day. If that's so; how bad was in in 1993 when the crime rate was over 69% higher? I think these figures are still to high. This is over 10 assaults per state per day. No wonder some women don't feel safe. To check the website go to RAINN
I changed things around a bit, and added a few things. It's as new to me as it is to you, but I think it'll work. As usual I'll try to have a variety of topics, but come summer there will be more postings about car events. You can email me at cruisaholic@hotmail.com Keep the shiny side up!
