The difference is that an investigation is conducted when it's reported in the U.S. If a perpetrator is identified then charges are brought against them. That provides a strong incentive for sane people not to commit rape, which doesn't really exist in India.
- thevardanian 10y agoYeah. I just don't see the rape "epidemic" at a personal level here in India. It's not even a valid claim at a statistical level. Just go to Rishikesh, or Rajasthan and you'll find a large number of tourists that are solo-female travelers from abroad. As for police investigation the state I live in is quite strict. So much so that even a mere accusation can get you thrown into jail and ruin your life. So charges are brought against the perpetrators, and the judicial system is continuously improving. To say that "it doesn't exist" is a blatant hyperbole that honestly I believe reeks of malicious intent. As characterizing India's situation as special, or extraordinary in comparison to any first-world country is extremely dishonest. So while Rape is most definitely a problem, and the judicial system in India is especially lacking, the criminality is not.
