    Rapes are underreported everywhere, but a 16:1 ratio is crazy and isn’t attributable to any difference in reporting rate (which is difficult to quantify anyway).

    At the end of the day you only hear about the reported rapes, so if you’re relying on anecdotal evidence that India is worse about this, you’re wrong.

    India just has a huge population, and westerners love focusing on negative news internationally.
