Figures show that 5.6% of all rape crimes end in convictions, the lowest in the whole of europe. about 80,000 people are victims of rape or attempted rape every year. and these are the reported ones, this figure could infact be double or triple. nearly 1 in 4 women have been a victim of sexual assult in their life time. Are we or the government doing enough to drop the figures on rape? or increase convictions?
its disgusting how high the figures are and how little the government is doing. a thief who stole a £70 coat can get more years in prison then a rapist. why isn't more being done? if i had my way, a rapist should have his hands removed, to signify to others what happens if you touch a women without consent. i know of 3 women who have been victims of rape, and its very sad to know that it can actually happen to anyone, and nothing can be done.
