> Since most jurisdictions do not have systems for counting or tracking rape kits, we cannot be sure of the total number of untested rape kits nationwide. Additionally, there is no federal law mandating a tracking and testing rape kits. It is estimated, however, that there are hundreds of thousands of untested kits in police and crime lab storage facilities throughout the country.

I don't want to sound anti American but to an European, this is just mind blowing. Is there any other developed nation that systematically ignores prosecution of rapes?
