340. Are you not capable of reading. Read this closely.
Males, blacks, and persons age 24 or younger experienced violent victimizations at higher or somewhat higher rates than females, whites, and persons age 25 or older (table 4)."

"All of your posts ASSUME that other violent crimes are more common than rape."

OK now, you seem to have a very hard time with numbers. It's OK, we're not all math people. Let's assume that rape is the most common violent crime. There are several other types of violent crime as well. That means that while rape may be the most commonly committed violent crime, rapes can still constitute a small minority of the total of violent crimes. Now, considering that men can be far more likely to be the victim of other violent crimes (every other violent crime), in total, they receive the brunt of violent attacks. You seem to have a problem with the DOJ's numbers. If you have a specific flaw, I'd love to hear it.
