First, a Note on Statistics Debates

• Inconsistencies between criminal justice vs.
  public health stats
• Differences in how questionnaires are designed.
• EXAMPLE
• Bureau of Justice Stats from National Crime
  Victimization Survey has been criticized for
  underestimating sexual assaults because it only
  initiates related questions if the respondent
  identifies the word rape first (and respondents
  dont always know what these terms mean).
• Public health stats such as CDC stats from
  National Intimate Partner Sexual Violence
  Survey (which Obama famously quoted in 2015) have
  been criticized for dedefining rape as completed
  forced penetration, attempted forced penetration
  or alcohol/drug-facilitated completed
  penetration.
