San Jose Escorts: City’s 2011 Crime Rate Continues Downward Trend
Statistics also show that forcible rapes increased 50 percent from four to six. Wylie explained that some of these after investigation end up “not to be legitimate or there isn’t enough to make an arrest,” for example, like the “‘he said/she said’ date rapes.”
“The initial report of a rape is what gets included in the statistic,” Wylie said. “All rapes are technically considered ‘forcible’ by definition of rape.” Wylie refers to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting definition.
According to Wylie, however, there haven’t been the types of rape that “warranted warnings to the community.”
“Nobody got dragged into the bushes and raped, or dragged into their house or anything like that,” she said. “There were reports of date rapes or acquaintance rapes.”
Aside from major violent crimes, in the non-violent crime categories an uptick could be noted in the number of prostitution and vice-related crimes reported. That jumped 267 percent, from three cases in 2010 to 11 in 2011. Driving under the influence cases also grew 6 percent from 285 to 303.
