Welcome to Palin Rape Kit.com
serving your needs during those certain times.
Sexual Assult is an ugly thing. Not something that any of us want to have to discuss, let alone face most of the time. But the fact of the matter it is a reality, one that we must realize is out there. When it does happen the first thing to focus on is making sure that the guilty party is caught and punished. To do that there needs to be evidence, and evidence collection. Normally this would have the cost of the kit provided by the government.
"Created in 1984, VOCA protects the rights of violent crimes victims and provides financial compensation, assistance, and services to those victims as well. VOCA covers victims of violent crimes such as sexual assault, rape, abuse, dating violence, and terrorism. Through the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) and the Crime Victims Fund, both established by VOCA, federal funding is allotted to national, state, and local organizations to directly aid violent crimes victims."
But as a responsible American citizen can you really put the burdon of the cost on the other tax payers? One Mayor of a little town in Alaska showed us that the burden should not fall onto the state, but the victim. We feel that with the upcoming election it would be in everyone's best interest to be prepared. So while the records state: "...charged victims of sexual assault between $300 and $1200 for their own rape kits." Do you want to have to shell out up to $1200 for a simple kit? We know we wouldn't. Thats why we are here offering this service to you all. Lets look at the possible savings.
According to national data:
National Rape Statistics
•
In the United States, over 70% of all rapes go unreported. (1)
•
The United States has the highest rate of rape of any country that
publishes such statistics; 13 times higher than
Great Britain and 20 times higher than Japan. (2)
•
In 2000, there were 261,000 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual
assault. (1)
•
Of these 261,000, 114,000 were victims of sexual assault, 55,000 were
victims of attempted rape, and 92,000
were victims of completed rape. (1)
•
Approximately 62% of female rape victims knew their assailant. (1)
•
Approximately 43% of victims are raped by a friend or acquaintance;
34% by a stranger; 17% by an intimate; and
2% by another relative. (1)
•
61% of rape victims were sexually assaulted before the age of 18. (3)
•
21.6% of women who reported being raped during their lifetime were
under age 12 at the time of their first rape.
32.4% of these women were 12-17 years of age. Therefore, over half of
all female rape victim/survivors surveyed
in this study were under the age of 18 at the time of their first rape. (4)
•
Age 12-34 are the highest risk years. Risk peaks in the late teens:
girls 16 to 19 are four times more likely than
the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual
assault (1).
•
Among people 12 and older, about 83.5% of the US population is white,
and 82.5% of rape victims are white;
13.3% of victims are black, compared to 12.3% of the population; and
4.2% of both victims and the population are
of other races. (1)
•
Blacks are about 10% more likely to be attacked than whites. In 2000,
there were 1.1 victimizations per 1,000
white people, and 1.2 victimizations per 1,000 black people. 
So in 2000 there were 92,000 reported cases of rape. Given that it's estimated only 25% of victims report the crime we can estimate that nearly 400,000 cases of rape occured. At an average cost of $750 per kit that would cost the taxpayers $300,000,000. But if those victims has pre-purchased their own kits at our reduced prices, the cost on them not taxpayers in general would have been a mere $59,600,000. A savings of more then $240,000,000. If policys such as these should go national for some reason the potential cost to the consumer could be astronomical as shown here for an example:
