Re censorship etc.

[Joseph C. Schaub]

I have a question regarding the argument that 
"statistically" the incidence of sex crimes is much higher 
in the US than in Japan.  I was told by a Japanese friend 
that many Japanese women would not report acts which would 
clearly be considered sexual harrasment in the US because 
of how unlikely it was that the offender would be 
prosecuted in Japan.  How reliable is a statistical 
comparison if the definition of sex crime varies?
