Why does Anchorage, Alaska have the nations highest forcibly rape record?
I read these stats and was truly shocked or should I have been? Anchorage is Alaskas biggest city and probably the coldest. Question: why does Anchorage have the highest forcible rape record in the U.S.? Could it be that the cold weather makes the men drink more alcohol to stay warm and it makes them sexually crazy?

It’s many factors @john65pennington.
There is higher alcohol and drug abuse, less sunlight, less women…prisons are near full, jobs tend to have long down time, higher depression rate and suicide rate…
Because in the winter it’s dark all day and it’s easier to get away with rape? I don’t know. It sounds like an awful depressing place to live in my opinion.
Alcohol is a huge factor. Alcohol use by the perpetrator and/or the victim was a factor in 75% of the Anchorage rape cases (source).

Well… what else is there to do in Anchorage, Alaska?
Sorry, couldn’t resist…
Wow does it? I didn’t know that? Maybe because I heard there are more men than women? Too many testes?
Where did you find the stats?
