A Review of the Year on Rape

The FBI made a statement last Monday that the number of rapes in the U.S. increased within the first half of 2004, reports Women’s eNews.
The FBI’s preliminary crime report was drawn from 11,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide. Rape has increased by 1.4 percent from the beginning of the year until June, when compared to the same period of time in 2003. The jump was bigger in the nation’s largest cities, which had a 6.5 percent increase.
All of the law enforcement agencies in the four regions of the U.S. showed an increase in the number of rapes.
And yet Bush wants to cut funds from the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Nice stuff.
