Most Violent Crimes Down, Sex Crimes Up In NYC
December 28, 2011 7:43 PM

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - Mayor Michael Bloomberg is closing out 2011 by touting how safe the Big Apple is, announcing near record safety levels were maintained in this year.
<snip>
It’s the 10th consecutive year the city has seen fewer than 600 murders in a year since 1960. There were just over 500 this year.

<snip---much further down in the article, separate from Bloomberg's emphasis on dropping crime rates, is this, emphasis mine:>
Sex assaults, rapes, and domestic violence, however, are on the rise.

“We see an increase in rape. We see an increase in sexual assault,” said NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly. “Obviously it’s something we are concerned about.”

So far this year, 1,380 rapes have been reported, which is a a 3-percent increase over last year. And just over 3,000 misdeameanor sex crimes have been logged, a 4-percent increase. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/12/28/mayor-bloomberg-touts-nycs-safety-record/

Another report, from Scotland:

Sex crimes up despite sharp fall in recorded crime
New figures show overall decrease in crime of 10% in last year - but crimes such as rape are on the up.

Violent crime has dropped by 11% in the last year - but sex offences such as rape are up, according to figures released on Tuesday.

The Recorded Crime in Scotland figures for 2009-10, published by Scotland's Chief Statistician, show an overall decrease of 10% in crimes committed over the last year.

PATTERNS AND TRENDS IN VIOLENT CRIME
Wicked people exist. Character is more often wicked than errant. --(James Q. Wilson)
The one thing they have in common is the mixture of a sexual urge with the desire to dominate, pursue, capture, pressure, cajole, bully, seduce, or "persuade" another person to come around to "their" way of thinking -- that it is the offender's right to hunt and hound their prey (Box 1983). These vile predators firmly believe their victims will eventually come around to believing that satisfaction of their pleasure is also their victim's pleasure. The consensus of most experts is that, in 80 to 85 percent of all rape cases, the victim knows the defendant, and this is the factor that makes this an underreported crime.

As psychologically intriguing as the study of sexual offending is, the fact is we aren't really sure whether known sex offenders are similar to those who go undetected. This is a consequence of the low reporting rate for sexual assaults. Victims only report a small fraction of offenses for many reasons: "It was a private matter"; "didn't think anything could be done"; or "afraid of reprisal from offender." It seems reasonable to assert that what we do know is based on socially inept or careless offenders. Over time, rape rates have fluctuated wildly, but there is a long-term upward trend. Periods with low rates include the 1930s and 1950s. Every other decade has seen high rates, with the most dramatic increases from 1965 to 1995. Currently, about 450,000 rapes or attempted rapes occur every year in America, and the figures for sex offenses (other than prostitution) are about two to three times higher than that. These high official figures mean the United States has the highest sex offense rates in the world. Rwanda is the only other country to come close, and the U.S. is still four times higher than it.

Note in the above excerpt that currently, about 450,000 rapes or attempted rapes occur every year in America, and the figures for sex offenses (other than prostitution) are about two to three times higher than that.---AND THIS IS IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT RAPE IS HIGHLY UNDER_REPORTED.
