Epic fail

Sort of. I think that the paper I'm talking about is referenced in this paper. I haven't got time to read through and find it, however I highly recommend giving this a read anyway.

Women  on  low  incomes  form  a  disproportionate  number  of  victims  of  sexual 
violence  in  England  and  Wales:  in  the  2000  British  Crime  Survey,  women  from 
households  with  an  income  of  less  than  £10,000  per  year  were  three  times  more 
likely  to  have  been  raped  than  women  from  households  with  an  income  of  more 
than  £20,000  per  year,  a  finding  which  is  consistent  with  other  research  on  social 
class  and  violent  crimes 

Goes on to discuss that most rapes are committed by friends and family members. Grim. Depressing.
