A rate is just a ratio between two quantities. You've never heard speed defined as the rate of movement?

I might have interpreted your example as such if not for the "one too many" comment. It's strange to throw out a completely fictitious figure and then lament it as if it's real.

who is fighting windmills now? :P

see how your patience has been rewarded... no good deed goes unpunished. he will never produce an actual figure. look at his other replies. such a victim complex. on behalf of the catholic church. regarding their sexual abuse of minors. what more is there to say?

You two are insufferable.

Anyway:

If you do an online search, the first results you may get, say how hard it is to compare. Here is one comparison that I did find:

Please note, this is not where I got my figures years ago, as I no longer have access to that source.

> Public Schools ~450 per 100,000

> Boy Scouts ~100–200 per 100,000

> Protestant Churches Likely 1–5 per 100,000

> Catholic Church (Priests Only) ~1 per 100,000

Also note, something like 90% of the Boy Scout sexual abuse cases were prior to the 1970s before they started mandating adults to take youth protection training. Today, the Boy Scouts and Catholic Church have some of the most comprehensive youth protection traing around, way better than any schools' youth protection training according to educators that I've talked with.

Good riddance. Go sharpen your ideological axes somewhere else.
