A. The FBI puts false rape at 8% - you want to be one of the 8 out of 100 accused? And that's only the verified and reported.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_accus... " the report also showed that a significant number of false allegations of rape (and domestic violence) "involved young, often vulnerable people. About half of the cases involved people aged 21 years old and under, and some involved people with mental health difficulties." Mental health difficulties?
You can also see from looking at the chart that the prevalence or otherwise is very, very difficult to find. You can virtually discount the figures offered by 'law enforcement'; who have a vested interest in 'being right' - after all, they say that only 1% of inmates in prisons are wrongfully convicted when the actual rate could easily be as high as 16%+ or one in six - and in an environment where 'guilt by accusation' is the norm I, as convenor of Australia's Wrongfully Convicted' have suggested a figure of 50% is not out of order. Once the Law rule book is thrown out the window, you open the road to all possibilities.
B. Someone here cited a US Air force Academy that found that 60% of claims of rape were false for many self-serving reasons - primarily to get out without paying a penalty for education costs. C.
Adherence to the mythology of 'rape culture' means that many things are cited as 'rape' when they are nothing of the sort. Also " The Justice Department says that 8 percent of all American women will be victims of rape or attempted rape in their lifetime." Hello - 8 per cent in their lifetime?
Hardly one in four, is it? Hardly a 'culture of rape'. http://www.falserape.net/rape_culture.ht... Point is - as long as there CAN be anywhere from 1 to 90 per cent false accusations - you are running a very serious problem which impacts in the most dreadful way on those accused falsely and on the real victims.
Once more - do YOU want to be the one (or 1 of 90) in 100 falsely accused and sent to prison with a ruined forever life - when reality suggests to even the most conservative viewer that the actual rate MUST be higher? So - what are YOUR figures?
They're nuts. The false accusation stats are the same as for any other crime. Here's an article in Salon that mentions the real statistics: http://www.salon.com/2009/11/05/mens_rig... Another article from Huffpo: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/03/... This article from the Guardian also has tons of statistics: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2013/m... If you google News articles about false accusations of rape, they will cite legitimate studies and numbers, since it's hard for any ordinary joe schmoe to get access to peer reviewed articles on the net.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
