Clearly false claims are easily weeded out (or they wouldn't have been identified as such in the first place). <br /><br />FYI the police consider anything that doesn't have physical evidence to collect as "historical", meaning it could be a much shorter time period than what you might expect. <br /><br />S.

For this reason Sweden has become the rape capital of Europe and by a considerable margin, although it seems Germany is now doing its best to catch up.<br /><br />I doubt that the Scotts record the hmm.. 'religious affiliation' of perpetrators, and no doubt there is a good number of Scottish Presbyterian's included amongst them, but like Sweden, I'd wager immigration and culture are a factor in the increased numbers.

A search of 'false rape' on this blog will also turn up a number of NZ cases.Lindsay Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437693272797130833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-84168703463015678942015-12-28T08:09:49.030+13:002015-12-28T08:09:49.030+13:00Some years ago I bookmarked every case of false ra...Some years ago I bookmarked every case of false rape that I saw plus many of the (mainly) US studies on the problem.. it was a depressingly long list.<br /><br />False rape isn't the 2% of the feminist opinion but something like 15-50% of all initial reports. You'd get flurries of them around the Manawatu, Nth Auckland and Chch and police would come out with complaints of time and resources wasted as accusations fell apart upon investigation. They sometimes had a timeline, ie, accusation on the weekend but withdrawn the following Monday or Tuesday as tempers abated and sobriety set in.<br /><br />You can get a flavour of the problem here..<br /><br />http://www.cotwa.info/p/false-rape-allegations-assault-on.html<br /><br />Interesting discussion by law practitioners here..<br /><br />http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/crimprof_blog/2004/12/2_false_rape_st.html<br /><br />When you read many of these stories and surveys you get to understand why so few rape accusations actually make it to court (to the dismay of womens' groups). The courts have tried to make it easier for victims by hiding their sexual histories and possible previous accusations. I may be wrong but I think defence lawyers can still introduce this info if they can show relevance.<br /><br />JCJChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875768024598278750noreply@blogger.com
