The poster I was replying to was using a very loose definition of unprosecuted crime, basically implying that anytime one person says a crime occurred and it goes unprosecuted then it should be counted as such. That kind of lazy statistic cuts both ways. The accuser believes there is a crime, the accused thinks it's a false accusation. Legally speaking, with rape the police aren't usually really sure a crime occurred as there is no proof. That's why they don't prosecute.
