Rape in Texas

All statistics are from Crime in Texas 2008, provided by Uniform Crime Reporting program.

The estimated number of rapes committed in Texas for 2008 was 8,004. Of all reported forcible rapes, only 7% were attempts, 93% were rapes by force. More rapes were committed in April than any other month.

Rape arrestees were 75% White, and 88% adults, with the highest number of arrests made in the 20-24 age bracket.

Educating and empowering women will give them the confidence to protect themselves.
