Countries with the most rape cases
The number of rape cases in a country are a factor of its population size. This is why rape incidences or number of rapes per 100,000 population is a more accurate measure to understand which countries fare worst. According to UN Crime Trend Statistics 2013, UK has the highest incidence of rape, followed by the US and Brazil. It is important to keep in mind though that many rape cases are not reported due to cultural factors and may not figure in official records.
In absolute terms, the US has the most rape cases globally. Brazil is second on this measure, followed by India.
