In the United States, however, it's closer to half, or at least was, but it's an important qualification.

Again, the misrepresentation of statistics is definitely not the way to go about raising awareness for this issue (and don't get me wrong, I do believe it is an issue; the statistics bear it out to one degree or another, though they are often times slightly misleading when it comes to severity and the under-reporting of the crimes by both genders). |
Well, as I said, I'm new to this and I am not sure your facts are clear either, but I'll be happy to bring in some others who can assist in answering these questions. I've been mostly doing graphic work so far!
