    and that only includes REPORTED rapes so unreported will throw things even further out

    While Sweeden does look dangerous at no 6 the truth is they have some of the most progressive laws regarding Rape which means a lot of these reported Rapes wouldn't be considered Rape outside of Sweeden which throws the stats
    I'd not call them "progressive", more like "draconian" where accusation is almost proof of itself.

    With a 1,7% conviction rate (108 out of 6 320)? Cases going to court was 169, or 64% conviction rate. Normal conviction rate is in courts are appearently 95% (the selection evidently occurs earlier in the case process).

    The extended definition of rape is eating into what other countries classify as sexual assult.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    The early 2000's massive bump in the number of reported rapes was due to reclassifying* pedo crimes as rape, IIRC.
