I was just suggesting it might be a proximate reason as to why it is still prevalent in a "developed" society. Of course, the ultimate reason is still basic human nature. | ||

However, this does not exonerate the man who decides to rape a woman. He is immoral and repugnant. Just because there is some blame to be spread around doesn't mean that he still isn't wrong. Though I think when you say "blame" you merely mean "cause." Rather than the person who is primarily culpable for the conduct. I am not talking about moral issues of rape at all in my post; merely, the sociological aspects of it (i.e. why does it occur in a developed society, where established laws and education reinforce its deterence?). In an earlier post, I mention that as rational beings, if we were to consider the moral aspects of rape, then almost everyone would agree (even those who commit rape) that it is wrong; but emotions are powerful motivators. But, I do mean "blame" not "cause" because they don't have to wear those types of clothes. But they specifically choose for whatever reason (as someone mentioned before, they may gain pleasure from advertising their good looks). But as you admit, they most likely know their is some risk involved in that. Perhaps it is harsh to say they are totally to blame, but certainly you can say they are partly to blame. edit - Hopefully that is clear, because I really do not want to give the wrong impression to this sensitive issue. If you still don't get it, let me make it absolutely clear: In NO way is rape right. Period. | ||

Actions on the victims part may make them more likely to be raped, such as walking home alone after dark, but the full responsibility for causing is always the rapists. | ||

I see your point, and still disagree, but I am not going to try to get you to change your viewpoint, because your view is just as valid as mine. Morality is not absolute, its often a matter of personal opinion, with no opinion being greater than the other; only perhaps more popular. For me personally, the only way to keep sane in this insane world, is to make concessions for our weak and flawed nature. I know a lot of "good" people who others that didn't know them as well might view as criminals because they have such a cold exterior and the superficial "look" of a criminal. But really it is just a mask for deep insecurities they hold from the majority of bad experiences they have had in the past. And once you been judged as a "criminal", nobody ever sees a potentially good person in there. Its completely their fault, and the victim is blameless. Lock him in a cell, and throw away the key. And yet often times those people have never been given a chance from birth to death, to prove themselves because their parents were dead-beats, they grew up in a ghetto, their friends are no better than they are, police, teachers, and other authority figures in society that can make a positive difference don't, etc. I know there are exceptional people who have gone through those hard times, and still managed to be "good" citizens, but they are exceptions, I am talking about the majority, as it often applies to morality. If you've read all this, I am not looking for a moral debate. If I've offended you, sorry, I absolutely didn't mean too. I just wanted to express my feelings, since this thread seem to have brought them out. If you really have strong opinions about what I wrote, PM me, because its seems like I am hijacking this thread, with this babble. | ||

you know what ? Japanese data is not to be trusted because Japanese teenagers never report the raping incident to the police. the seventh U.N. survey of crime trends and operations of criminal justice systems: - Burglaries (per capita) (most recent) by country: #1 Australia: 21.7454 per 1,000 people #2 Dominica: 18.7892 per 1,000 people . . . #17 United States: 7.09996 per 1,000 people #18 France: 6.11634 per 1,000 people . . #29 Japan: 2.3269 per 1,000 people . . . #51 Korea, South: 0.0622315 per 1,000 people _ - Assaults (per capita) (most recent) by country: #1 South Africa: 12.0752 per 1,000 people #2 Montserrat: 10.2773 per 1,000 people . . #10 Australia: 7.02459 per 1,000 people . . .

mnm, as Haji says, it is likely that the Japanese values are under-reported, even today the kind of guilt mentality seems particularly prevailant within the Japanese society. Haji, do you have any more sources? The second one doesn't explain the spike during the 2001~2002 reports, though it was an interesting read. Anyhow, directly in regards to the thread, like Haji, I was first most surprised by the insanely low rates in Japan and came to the same conclusion as Haji upon some consideration - a reporting bias within the sample due to the culture in question. I also agree that in many ways it is as disturbing, if more, than the high rates of Korea. The second thing that came to my attention is the sudden peak that the Korean rate reaches from 2001 to 2002. Was there some legislative change during that time concerning the question of rape? Baezzi, Haji pointed that out in his post. Also, the data was supposed be from the Korean agency for investigations (They took the datas from each of the primary policing headquarters, it seems), further interpreted by what looks like a Korean professor in Japan. It isn't a sample bias because it is Japanese, but a reporting bias, like I said, can still be true. | ||

Also, the data that you cited is missing...rape, which the statistical abstract in question has. I can pull up the data if you want, though from the 2006 edition since the 2007 link seems to be down. Ah, yes, as someone who has lived in Korea, can you tell us anything about what happened during 2001~2002 to attribute to the sharp increase that we saw in the data curve? | ||
