holding back on classifying rapes as rapes. That's the thrust of the first article's claim.

And again, underreporting is separate from the incidence of rape. If rape reports are way down, that doesn't mean underreporting is somehow way up.

Like I said before, crime is way down throughout the first world in the last 40 years. Rape is part of that, even though too many rapes still go unreported. Something has been happening to make this possible, not that I know what that something is.
