Since you want FBI studies here is one. The UCR report for 1996. As said earlier...the only way LE marks a case unfounded is if the person recants the story to them. This does not include inactive and ex-cleared cases that are not prosecuted because of no supporting evidence, flaws in complainants story, proof of innocence of the accused, ect. If it makes you feel any better I believe probably 1/3 of all crimes reported are false...not just rape. Rape just seems to stand out because of the price the accused pay even if the case is not true.

Yes...I can see it. I posted independent studies and all you posted was FBI UCR stats looking for cases marked unfounded. They did not look for ex-cleared or inactive for lack of substantiating evidence, lack of cooperation from the victim, ect.

A hole???? I guess it is not politically correct to discuss facts. Just stick you head in the sand and forget about it is the answer. Once again...where did I detract from anyone who is a victim????? The discussion was of crime in general and I posted facts. For your info I have been close to both sides. I know someone who was raped by an ex-boyfriend and I also know someone who nearly had his life destroyed by a false accusation. She wanted a relationship and I guess he wanted a night of fun. The only way he was saved was because some of her friends came forward and told the poli

That is the only type study you will find. No one has the time and manpower to do a nationwide study of every rape. They have to localize somehow. You missed this part though.

The only problem with the FBI numbers is they are using UCR stats only where police filed the report as unfounded. I have yet to see numbers where they conducted an case by case study which included all the factors.

Dr. Kanin study.

I have yet to find anywhere in those numbers an analysis to show how many were recanted or proven false. They seem to deal with only reported rapes through UCR stats.

Ok...here is another study. n 1994, Dr. Eugene J. Kanin of Purdue University investigated the incidences, in one small urban community, of false rape allegations made to the police between 1978 and 1987. Unlike those in many larger jurisdictions, this police department had the resources to "seriously record and pursue to closure all rape complaints, regardless of their merits". The falseness of the allegations was not decided by the police, or by Dr. Kanin; they were "... declared false only because the complainant admitted they are false." The number of false rape allegations in the stud

My statement no way detracts from any woman who is truly a victim as some would try to make it. Find the facts for yourself instead of burying you head in the sand. The FBI study proved 40% were false....add the he said/she said cases and the number is higher. http://www.anandaanswers.com/pages/naaStats.html James Anderson is doing hard time in an Oregon State Penitentiary for a rape he didn’t commit. In his recently published Falling on the Deaf Ear: Understanding the Growing False Accusations of Rape Crisis in the US, and How to Stop It, Anderson builds a troubling case. Follo

Normally that is who it is. People buy performance equipment, whether sport bikes or sports cars for a reason. They buy them to go fast because that is usually their only highlight.

Usually one night stands that are later regretted.

That is for people who were charged with a crime. The rules are different when someone is did not commit a crime or if it was for a medical/suicidal/welfare issue. Add to that not all 911 calls are legit and many are found to be false. Lets put the shoe on the other foot. Lets say 911 gets a call from a lady who says her daughter told her that her friend from school was being molested. They were not sure exactly where she lives but they drove down Hiram Sudie and thought your house was the house. One officer parks next door when they come talk to you. They investigate and find

Sure...when using the open records act which has rules and stipulations. That only releases certain info usually at the conclusion of an investigation and only after it is approved by supervisors. The reason people can hear things on the scanner is because they have devices than can monitor that frequency, not because law enforcement wants to make it public.

I guess I disagree. I would think an officer responding to a call next door would be enough information. The reason for the response should be private to the other people unless they want to tell someone else.

Many times the case is: They do not have a lot of info themselves They are busy trying to communicate with additional units who are responding It is a situation they could not give you info about, especially if it is medical related. They could be watching for a car leaving the area On top of it all...people who walk up to their cars...especially after dark make them really nervous. Many officers have been shot that way.

Status and stat code are different.

Sounds like aerial mapping or something like that.

If the team gets a call out they respond from wherever. Many live out this way and were undoubtedly off duty at the time.

More than likely it is Cobb SWAT officers who received a call out.

Not uncommon for people to over exaggerate things....just look at how rumors fly on here.

That is probably the exact reason they were there....you train in situations where real life situations would be.

She should have went to jail.

The lady is an idiot....she put the child in danger and created a traffic hazard by following with her emergency flashers. This is not about discipline....its about stupidity and making a child do something dangerous.

Only a couple of the trailers left have people living in them....they rest are slowly being torn down.

Only if the primary aggressor cannot be determined. I seriously doubt if one party gets beat up they go to jail with the aggressor if they call. Ga law is similar, if a primary aggressor is identified they must be taken into custody. So, if both parties have equal marks showing a physical altercation took place they both may be arrested depending on the evidence at the scene.
