Three things of concern:

- Sexual assault is categorized as a violent crime, but is severely under-reported.
- This report does not actually answer my question about violence in the context of organized crime (i.e. violence committed by criminals against each other). If those statistics are factored in, of course the balance will be tipped toward male victims.
- The average discrepancy is actually about 5-6 in 1000 cases, so really not enough to make the case that men are in overwhelmingly more danger. In reality, both sexes experience about the same level of fear toward robbery and assault because you don't read about something like that in the paper and think, "Thank god, that happened to a man." You think, "Oh god, he was a jogger like me," or, "Fuck, that happened in my neighborhood."

In short, statistics don't always provide the full picture and actually don't matter that much when the discussion is about popular psychology.

"statistics don't always provide the full picture and actually don't matter that much" STATISTICS DON'T MATTERRRRRRRRRRRRR! Then shut the fuck up about rape statistics. Obviously, they don't matter. Fucking idiot.
