ATTACKS
From page 1
one in nine rape cases is reported. If these
figures are applied to Clatsop County a total of
45 women were assaulted during this period.
Although rape is a problem, wife beating is
more prevalent. It is the most widespread vio
lent crime in the United States, and according
to the same federal and state statistics, only
one case in 30 is reported. In this area, with
its high incidence of seasonal unemployment and
alcoholism, the rate of wife beating is high.
The Women's Crisis Service has already dealt
with more than 20 cases.
In all such cases the crisis service provides
emotional support to the battered woman. If she
wants to leave, attempts are made to find emer
gency housing in a private home until she can be
referred to a shelter home in another county.
All calls and contacts with the Women's Crisis
Service are in the strictest confidence.
