Hmm... I guess there's no real way of deciding what's going on without sitting in every courtroom and eyeballing the perp and the victims.

More women need to report the crime. It sounds like the ones that don't report it are the ones who it has happened to without a doubt and need to bring the guy to justice (or something). I still think justice is best served by male members of the females family. h34r:
You really are a piece of work....

You obviously don't consider the statistics above relevent....sad.

I understand your experience in the past has jaded you.....but what you are missing is that those cases are not the norm.

Based on the statistics above.....Would you be so willing to report it when there is a 50/50 chance that the perp will even be arrested? Would you be so willing to go through the hell of reliving the nightmare in court when there is only a 17% chance the perp will end up in jail?

These stats show there no motivation for victims to report these crimes.

Maybe this new law will help change these statistics in the future, thus empowering women and giving them some hope that justice will be served.
