5 Sexual offences also saw an increase. Rape and outrage of modesty increased from 48 to 79 cases (64.6%) and from 423 to 535 cases (26.5%) respectively. As in the past years, the majority of the victims were raped by persons known to them- 67 out of 79 cases.

So we have 79 rapes in my country in the first half of 2002. Assuming another 79 in the second half, that means 158. The population is around 3.5 million, which means a ratio of roughly 1:22152.
I will find it hard to swallow that Britain has almost an 1000% number of rape cases.
