It's almost trebled in just the last seven years. In 2003, about 2,200 offences were reported to the police, compared to nearly 6,000 in 2010. So something's going on. Klara Selin says this isn't a crime epidemic though, more change of attitudes.
"The major explanation to that is that people are more willing to go to the police. There might also be some increase, in the actual crime, because of the societal changes. Due to Internet for instance, it's much easier today to meet somebody, and just the same evening if you want to. Also, the alcohol consumption has increased quite a lot. But the major explanation is partly that people go to the police more often, but also the fact that in 2005, there has been this reform, which made the legal definition of rape much wider than before."
The change in law meant that cases where the victim was asleep or intoxicated are now included in the figures. Previously, they'd been recorded as another category of crime. So an on-the-face-of-it, international comparison of rape statistics can be misleading. Botswana has the highest rate of recorded attacks - 92.9 per 100,000 people according to UN figures. But a total of 63 countries don't submit any statistics at all, including South Africa, where a survey three years ago, showed that one in four men questioned admitted to committing rape.事实是:在瑞典,强奸案报案数量攀升至七年前的三倍。在2003年,警方接到2,200起案件,到了2010年,警方则接到6,000起案件。由此看来,某种转变正在发生。克拉拉·塞林(Klara Selin)说,这并非表示强奸案比以往更加频繁,而更多的说明了人们对此问题的态度发生了改变。
“产生这一现象的主要原因是人们更愿意去寻求警方的帮助。社会的发展可能导致犯罪行为的增加。比如,网络让我们更方便地与他人见面,如果愿意的话,人们在约定当晚就能碰面。除此之外,酒类的消费量也显著增加。不过,最主要的原因除了人们更愿意去找警方寻求帮助以外,在2005年实施的法律改革也起到很大作用。在这次改革中,我们扩大了强奸的法律定义。”
改革后的法律把在熟睡中或被灌醉后遭到侵犯的受害人纳入强奸罪的对象范围。在此之前,这类案例被归为其它的犯罪类型。由此看来,各国强奸案的数据对比可能会引人误解。根据联合国的统计数据,博茨瓦那的犯罪率最高,每10万人中就有92.9人遭到侵犯。然而,包括南非在内的63个国家没有提交任何犯罪数据。但三年前的一项研究显示,在南非,有四分之一的男性承认有过强奸行为。
