40% to 50% Of Rape Allegations Are Later Admitted False

i have read other studies saying the number is only 1%. i'm sure it's somewhere in between but i bet it's much closer to 1 than 40.

I think that's quite high ... I'm thinking those numbers are a bit off.

And just for perspective ... some say as many as 80% of all Rapes are not even reported.

They might be off, but they also have a reliable source.

One study is not a true analysis of what is really going on out there. That study is biast and who is to say that he did not rape her? A person's background or whatever they are wearing does not justify being assaulted!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone has their issues and the victim is always on trial instead of the one that assaults. Maybe next time that you decide to post study results try to get a collection of studies and test the biast in a study before taking it as the truth.[/i][/b]

"The `unfounded' rate, or percent of complaints determined through investigation to be false, is higher for forcible rape than any other Index crime. In 1991, 8 percent of forcible rape complaints were `unfounded,' while the average for all Index crimes was 2 percent."

There's a quote I found from an old 1991 study. Gonna check out the official FBI files ... see what I can find. Somewhere it was saying that the general standard the FBI goes by is about 10-15% ... I'll see if I can confirm.
