A Florida Farm County's High Rape Rate Highlights Risks for Migrant Workers
Although it's not clear how many attacks involve farm workers because police reports generally don't include that information, the majority of Hendry's population works in the agriculture industry. A 2005 study showed 74 cents of every dollar in the county's economy could be traced to farming. The attacks described in county records run the gamut from domestic violence to nauseating assaults on children, but taken as a whole, they point to a larger truth: Sexual assault is an outsize problem in the area, especially when thousands of migrant women with little understanding of the English language or their legal rights move there every year to harvest crops.
"Sexual abuse is alive and flourishing outside of our program," says Laura Safer Espinoza, a retired New York state judge who now runs Florida's Fair Food Standards Council, which among other objectives aims to stem sexual abuse of farm workers through programs including an abuse hotline. "Some of the calls we get are heartbreaking."
********************
In the past two years, 27 felony sexual assaults have been filed; that averages out annually to one rape case per 2,880 people in the county, a 17 percent higher rate than Miami's rate of one per 3,275 residents (based on FBI crime data) and almost 40 percent greater than the national rate.
Here's one of you 'migrant women being raped.'
Sheriff: No one tried to stop Panama City Beach gang rape - CNN.com
You seem to ignorantly think that all crime will be stopped if everyone is carrying. It's much more complex than that. Sociology-economic problems are a huge reason. No jobs, low paying jobs, if you want to eat you have to steal.
Concealed carry does help to lower the crime rate. Does it solve all crime, no….police are good for most of that. However, women can stop rape most effectively with a gun, no other method is as effective, and a knife comes in a distant second………..
And at it's most basic…a gun stops the crime for that victim…and may possibly save other victims if the criminal is captured and held for police or shot and injured or killed.
And I have never said that all crime will be stopped…..there are too many people who won't carry guns for self defense…….
