Yeah, here's the problem with the statistics. If the crime doesn't get reported, it never shows up. In Romania, at least in the rural part it's still common sense that a man can beat the crap out of a woman to straighten her out and a legal complaint at the police never actually shows up (if they even have a police office to begin with). It's the same with rape, a lot of women are afraid or ashamed to file a complaint or don't even realize that they can do that. While it's not really like having rapists lurking around every corner, I'd hardly say it's a safe place for women.
