truman Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 The number of recorded sexual offences on trains and at stations has risen 25% to a record level, British Transport Police (BTP) figures suggest. BTP recorded 1,399 sexual offences in 2014-15 in England, Scotland and Wales - up 282 on the previous year. How would segregated carriages stop the offences that take place on stations? Do we know the breakdown of these numbers ie which were on the station and which were actually on board the trains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 No thats just reported. from female accounts and the reasons why they dont report im inclined to believe these crimes and offenders are much more numerous. Hang on? So you DON'T think that it's a minority of men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJC1 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 From a study of 1600 women 1/3 had been sexually assaulted. 1 in 10 had been raped. so either a tiny fraction of men have been extremely busy or a larger percentage have comitted crimes. ---------- Post added 26-08-2015 at 11:29 ---------- What would you call a significant amount? If a third of women have been sexually assaulted...its a significant amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJC1 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Wow! lol. Thats quite an assumption there mate. Its a study...not my findings. Either a lot of men are commiting few crimes. Or a tiny fraction are commiting a lot of crimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
