17.3% Of Indiana School Girls Get Raped

[Junk Parts]

According to recent national research conducted by the U.S. Centers of Disease
Control and Prevention, 10.5 percent of all high school-age girls have been
sexually assaulted. And in the state of Indiana, those numbers are considerable
higher than nearly anywhere else in the country. 17.3 percent of girls in grades
nine through 12 in the state have reported experiencing rape or sexual assault.

Julie Heiman, director of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and
Reproduction, told the Bloomington Herald-Times that she was "shocked" by the
numbers.

But these statistics may not even reflect the true scope of the issue. CBS
Chicago noted that because 50 percent of sexual assaults against women are
unreported, it's difficult to estimate the actual number of instances.

Indiana University Center for Evaluation & Education Policy Director Jonath
Plucker told the Post-Tribune that he was not surprised that Indiana did not
rank highly, but that it did come as a surprise to be among the worst states in
the country in terms of sexual assault. He said:

“... That we arguably have the worst data in the country -- that hit me like a
punch in the stomach. There are other more socially conservative states, more
provincial states, certainly poorer states. But the data we have available to us
just didn’t allow us to figure out why our figures are so bad.”

Now, researchers at Indiana University and other institutions are calling for
more public education and greater prevention efforts. Plucker suggested more
thorough training in dealing with issues for school staff members, as well as
more community-wide sex education initiatives.

In the UK, an educational teen rape public service announcement recently
debuted, highlighting incidences of sexual assault within relationships. In
light of the fact that 80 percent of rape occurs between people who know each
other, the ad aims to educate teens on the fact on the fact that sexual violence
frequently occurs within relationships.

Patch reported that every two minutes, someone is sexually assaulted in America,
and noted that educational campaigns can help increase the reporting of rapes so
that victims of sexual assault are not silenced. With National Sexual Assault
Awareness Month happening in April, the national spotlight is being put on the
issue of rape and sexual violence.

I'm surprised by this from Indiana girls... Like Arkansas girls, they usually give it up without much more than a hello...

[Junk Parts]

That is a truth all men should know. My first was from Indiana. I think that she gave up before I said hello... I Hope that RatDude meets one like her soon. He has to. He has a whole state full of them!

well, there is Gary and the like by chicago... the slums in Indianapolis, Fort wayne (born there, halfway between Indy and Detrioit), and Jeffersonville and the like by Louisville (Where I live, kinda)... they are pits in many places and account for a large chunk of indiana's population. I've lived in Indiana all my life; I know where to avoid.

as for Indiana girls, I don't see what you guys mean... or am I that ugly? (dons paper bag with eyeholes)

My Union used to endorse the NAACP. For some reason we cut them loose about 13 years ago. We as a Trade Union just couldn't put up a picket line everytime there was some real or imagined injustice committed against a Black Man. We still have our black members and these guys are good Millwrights. If you feel the need to call them racial names the rest of us will deal with you on our terms. It will not be pretty for you.
