When asked what the fastest growing violent crime in the United States is, today, a large percentage of people don't know the answer to that question. Whereas, the first step toward resolving any real problem is the recognition and acknowledgement of it.
The featured question's answer is:
The physical abuse of women and children - including rape - by adult males.
(Against Our Will: Men, Women & Rape, Susan Brownmiller. The Undeclared War Against Women, Susan Faludi, the New England Science Journal 1995)

That fact, accompanied by a large percentage of adults who are unaware of it - the most serious domestic problem in the nation - is an indictment of the entire educational media in the country.
Take your own survey, randomly ask middle aged folks what Rock and Roll Band first performed 'Sympathy for the Devil' - the vast majority will not only know the answer, most polled people will be able to quote the various lyrics of that band for five minutes straight, without repeating themselves; whereas, that same approximate percentage of polled people do not know the fastest growing violent crime in the United States. Now, "That's Entertainment". (Draw your own conclusions?)


Can information such as that conveyed in this post do anything to provide more security for the cited victim's of the nation's most insidious domestic problem? Might more public education of this problem help alleviate it?


Acknowledged herein: male vs male prison rape occurs at an even faster rate than such offenses against women and children, but this is true only because in prison the awry adult male is deprived of the opportunity to assault women and children. Moreover, prison is a microcosm of the society surrounding it - reemphasizing the proposed theme of this thread, namely: 'The fastest growing violent crime in America (the physical abuse - including rape - of women & children by adult men)'.
