Iwflee,Originally posted by lwflee:I agree. Which leads me to another flaw skyline's post. In other countries, you can move to safer areas. Singapore is too small for any move to have an appreciable effect.
i believe you are not happy about certain things. but not everything is bad. -
Actually, i have no realy complains about crime in Singapore. Neither do i have any complains about crime in the area i am living in now. I just disagree with the thrust of Skyline's post.

make up your mind. you are contradicting yourself. you said earlier that rape cases are proportionately higher in populous countries. south africa ranked 2nd but has a population of only 42 million.Originally posted by lwflee:Yes, but i doubt many would call South africa "safe".
that proves your theory is flawed. -
why do you disagree with his posting? i am sure he did not get the statistics out of thin air.Originally posted by lwflee:Actually, i have no realy complains about crime in Singapore.

I agree that my theory is flawed. I omitted to include a "likely" in the sentence concerned. I also want to add that many other factors like apartheid, how crime is defined, etc, will impact on the accuracy of that sentence. Nevertheless, i think that the theory is generally sound.Originally posted by dragg:make up your mind. you are contradicting yourself. you said earlier that rape cases are proportionately higher in populous countries. south africa ranked 2nd but has a population of only 42 million.

I disagreed with what i perceived was the general thrust of his post. To me, it appears that his argument was that Singapore's incidences of rape was way way way below that of other countries. I feel that to draw such a conclusion from the statistics posted is wrong. Now, other statistics might support his argument, but that does not change the fact that the statistics he posted does not support his argument.Originally posted by dragg:why do you disagree with his posting? i am sure he did not get the statistics out of thin air. -
the lowest in skyline63's list was latvia at 104. i think it is reasonable enough for singapore to have less than that.
anyway i searched goggle but it came up with nothing useful on rape statistics. -

That is simply not possible. If you count the reports of women getting raped last year(ST) as well as the documented cases by the counseling agencies it clearly exceeds 104. I'm not suprised you didn't find anything in google, you'll have to personally go down to these agencies and even then they make it difficult for you to obtain numbers.

from a 2001 press report:
[rape was down..] while there were 122 reported rapes, two fewer than the previous year.
And thats even after the 'massaged' official figures..
However, the number of rapes which arose out of contact made through the Internet and chat lines rose from six to eight.
four years on and Singapore is rape-free? -

woops! 116 in 2003.
even so, i still think there can be no real meaningful comparision of international crime rates. -
