Sex Offenses and Sex Offenders

Forcible rape is defined as ôthe carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her willö (Ellis & Walsh, 541). Precise rape figures are the most difficult crime rates to obtain, but approximately half of all rapes are committed by someone known to the victim, and 20% of the offenders are armed (Ellis & Walsh, 542). Compared internationally, the U.S. rape rate is four times higher than in Germany, thirteen times higher than in Britain, and twenty times higher than in Japan (Ellis & Walsh, 542). In Egypt, which has a population of 54 million, only three rapes were reported to INTERPOL in 1992 (Ellis & Walsh, 542).

The data available on rapists is derived from those that have been caught and convicted and indicates that about 75% of rapists are under 30, and about 80% are unemployed or blue-collar workers; only 20% have a high school education or better (Ellis & Walsh, 5
