Some statistics on ****:
Thought I throw out some numbers. The main numbers given are from RAINN as they used a variety of sources from the US government and I needed to start somewhere. I added other information from websites in italic to give a broader perspective since numbers will vary wildly depending on sources. I did not attempt to distinguish between numbers given for certain years or certain periods, nor did I try to make a distinction between sexual assault and **** where some statistics made that difference at some point and others didn't. Websites who did not mention sources were ignored. All number should be for the US. Basically: statistics are a mess and blurry at best, so there's no use in debating exact numbers.
Victims:
- Women who were the victim of attempted or completed ****: 1 out of 6
Other sources give number from 1 in 10 up to 1 in 4
- Men who were the victim of attempted or completed ****: 1 out of 33
Other sources give numbers ranging from 1 in 71, up to 1 in 10
Perpetrators (numbers not given by RAINN):
- Nearly one in 10 women was victim of completed or attempted **** by an intimate partner in her lifetime (including completed, attempted or *******/****-facilitated completed penetration). Other sources mention numbers ranging from 46% to 1 in 7.
- An estimated 16.9% of women and 8.0% of men have experienced sexual ******** other than **** (being made to penetrate an intimate partner, sexual coercion, unwanted sexual contact, and non-contact unwanted sexual experiences) by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
- Approximately one in 45 men has been made to penetrate an intimate partner during his lifetime.
- In 8 out of 10 cases, the victim knew the person who sexually assaulted them
- In a survey answered by hundreds of **** and sexual assault support agencies, they estimated that 93.7 percent of male **** perpetrators are male and 6.3 percent were female.
Lifetime rate of **** /attempted **** for women by race:
- All women: 17.6%
- White women: 17.7%
- Black women: 18.8%
- Asian Pacific Islander women: 6.8%
- American Indian/Alaskan women: 34.1%
- Mixed race women: 24.4%
No numbers found for men.
Numbers for age of victims:
- 15% of sexual assault and **** victims are ********* 12.
- 29% are age 12-17.
- 44% are ********* 18.3
- 80% are ********* 30.3
- 7% of girls in grades 5-8 and 12% of girls in grades 9-12 said they had been sexually ******.
- 3% of boys grades 5-8 and 5% of boys in grades 9-12 said they had been sexually ******.
Other sources give roughly the same numbers and or give additional info:
- 12.3% of women were age 10 or younger at the time of their first ****/victimization, and 30% of women were between the ages of 11 and 17
- 27.8% of men were age 10 or younger at the time of their first ****/victimization
- More than one-third of women who report being ***** before age 18 also experience **** as an adult
- 1 in 9 girls and 1 in 53 boys under the age of 18 experience sexual ***** or assault at the hands of an adult.
Other sources mention 1 in 4 for girls and 1 in 6 for boys
About perpetrators of juvenale sexual assault:
- 34.2% of attackers were ****** members.
Other sources mention 34% as well
- 58.7% were acquaintances.
- Only 7% of the perpetrators were strangers to the victim.
The perpetrators were...
- 80 % was a parent
- 6% were other relatives
- 4% were unmarried partners of a parent
- 5% were "other" (from ******** to strangers).
Other sources give additional information:
96% of people who sexually ***** ******** are male, and 76.8% of people who sexually ***** ******** are adults
Effects of ****. Victims of sexual assault are:
- 3 times more likely to suffer from depression.
- 6 times more likely to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.
- 13 times more likely to ***** *******.
- 26 times more likely to ***** *****.
- 4 times more likely to contemplate suicide.
Crime reports (information not given by RAINN)
- **** is the most under-reported crime; 63% of sexual assaults are not reported to police. Other sources mention "The FBI finds that only 1 in 4 ***** are published in the Uniform Crime Reports. The Uniform Crime Reports do not include ***** that end in death, since those are reported as homicides." Wikipedia mentions 84% went unreported to the police.
- Some types of **** are excluded from official reports altogether (the FBI's definition, for example, used to exclude all ***** except ******** ***** of females), because a significant number of ***** go unreported even when they are included as reportable *****, and also because a significant number of ***** reported to the police do not advance to prosecution. As well as the large number of ***** that go unreported, only 25% of reported ***** result in arrest.
- Data on the prevalence of **** vary greatly depending on what definition of **** is used. The FBI recorded 85,593 ***** in 2010, while the Centers for Disease Control counted nearly 1.3 million incidents in that same year. It should however be noted that the CDC's definition of **** "represents the public health perspective" and takes into account the ability of the victim to consent to sex because he or she had been ******** or taking ***** while the FBI defines **** as "Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim."
- Only 12% of ***** sexual ***** is reported to the authorities
- The prevalence of false reporting is between 2% and 10%. For example, a study of eight U.S. communities, which included 2,059 cases of sexual assault, found a 7.1% rate of false reports. Astudy of 136 sexual assault cases in Boston found a5.9% rate of false reports. Researchers studied 812 reports of sexual assault from 2000-03 and found a 2.1% rate of false reports.
Pregnancies Resulting from ****:
In 2012, 346,830 women were *****. According to medical reports, the incidence of pregnancy for one-time unprotected sexual intercourse is 5%. By applying the pregnancy rate to 346,830 female survivors, RAINN estimates that there were 17,342 pregnancies as a result of **** in 2012.
This calculation does not account for the following factors which could lower the actual number of pregnancies:
- ****, as defined by the NCVS, is ****** sexual intercourse. ****** sexual intercourse means vaginal, oral, or anal penetration by offender(s). This category includes incidents where the penetration is from a foreign object such as a bottle. Certain types of **** under this definition cannot cause pregnancy.
- Some victims of **** may be utilizing birth control methods, such as the pill, which will prevent pregnancy.
- Some rapists may wear condoms in an effort to avoid DNA detection.
- Vicims of **** may not be able to become pregnant for medical or age-related reasons.
This calculation does not account for the following factors which could raise the actual number of pregnancies:
- Medical estimates of a 5% pregnancy rate are for one-time, unprotected sexual intercourse. Some victimizations may include multiple incidents of intercourse.
- Because of methodology, NCVS does not measure the victimization of Americans age 12 or younger. ***** of these young people could results in pregnancies not accounted for in RAINN's estimates.
