Self Defnense|Crime Against Women

The 2007 annual FBI report on crime Statistics show an increase in violent crime also coincides with other alarming annual reports:

The National Violence Against Women Survey (NVAWS), claims that more than 300,000 women are raped annually and, men are responsible for 100% of these rapes — as well as 92% of all physical assaults and 97% of stalking acts.

The statistics are likely even worse than what they appear:

According to recent data posted at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only about 1 in 5 adult women (19%) actually report their rapes to the police, meaning the real number of rape victims last year in the U.S. could add up to more than 1.2 million women.
