The face of crime in America

Article Abstract:

Crimes against women are nine times more likely to occur at home than in the street and 50% of all US women will be in a violent relationship at some point in their lives. In 83% of rapes the victims know the attacker. The best defense against rape is to be aware that the possibility exists and to resist or flee if an attack occurs.
