Epidemic of Rape Reporting vs Rape Eradication
Newshounds like those who participate in Reformed Leftist no doubt have the impression that Rape (including child molestation) is a growing epidemic. Factually, though, sex crimes have diminished drastically over the past 20 years, even as media hoopla has drastically increased. Anti-Rape advocates should be celebrating: Rape has a drastically reduced risk of occuring, and the risk keeps dropping.

I wouldn't have assumed that rape has increased simply because it is reported more often. There are more news networks with 24-hour news cycles, so they have to report everything that happens. I'm surprised they aren't reporting traffic stops yet.
Of course, they still miss big stories like cops in Detroit raping black men. And I still have problems with how they report what they report.
I'm interested in the cops raping men story. Please share...
