I suppose this is just islamphobia!Can you please make it a habit to read more than the first sentence and a half before replying to a post? This would greatly increase the quality of discussions.
A 400% increase in rape reports recorded by police does not equal a 400% increase in rapes.
There was a gradual increase in reports from 858 per year in the late 70s, to 1,303 in the late 80s, to 1,729 in the late 90s, which may or may not reflect an actual increase in rapes. Just as likely, it reports a decrease in the rate of underreporting as victims became more confident in the police being on their side. Then there was a leap to 4,208 reports in 2006, which is explained by a broadening of the legal definition of rape to include cases that would not have been counted earlier.
None of this suggests that the actual number of rapes has increased anywhere near 400%, or indeed at all.

It may or may not be islamophobia, but if it takes the crude numbers of reported rapes and compares them with other countries as if that were a meaningful exercise, it certainly is studidity.
