... Australia’s Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research acknowledges that the gun ban had no significant impact on the amount of gun-involved crime:

• In 2006, assault rose 49.2 percent and robbery 6.2 percent.

• Sexual assault — Australia’s equivalent term for rape — increased 29.9 percent.

• Overall, Australia’s violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent.

The reference adds that an Australian woman is three times as likely as an American one to be a rape victim.
