Protecting Yourself Against Rape

Protecting Yourself Against Rape by Michael Brandt Owner SecurityProTech.

Rape is a terrible violent crime that no one should ever have to experience yet statistics show a forcible rape is committed every 6 minutes some where in America.

Rape is a serious problem in the United States today. The United States has the highest rape rate among countries which report such statistics. It is 4 times higher than that of Germany, 13 times higher than that of England and 20 times higher than that of Japan.

Women are 10 times more likely than men to be victims of sexual assault (National Crime Victimization Survey, 1997). A study among college women has shown that 1 out of every 5 college age women report being forced to have sexual intercourse. (1995 National College Health Risk Behavior Survey) Only 16% of rapes and sexual assaults are reported to the police (Rape in America: A Report to the Nation. 1992). 64% of women who reported being raped, physically assaulted, and/or stalked since age 18 were victimized by a current or former husband, cohabiting partner, boyfriend, or date. (Full Report of the Prevalence, Incidence, and Consequences of Violence Against Women, Findings from the National Violence Against Women Survey, November, 2000)

We at SecurityProTech want people every where to join with us in waging a war against this violent crime that destroys lives.
