⁂ The proportionate number of persons perpetrating this crime has been
calculated with reference to the _entire_ population, instead of the
_male part of it only_, as at the first glance might seem necessary,
males only being capable of committing the above offence. But it
was found, on examination, that the intensity of the criminality in
the several counties in this respect was influenced by the relative
number of females. Monmouth contains the greatest number of males
in proportion to females; so that, were the male population alone
considered, the criminality of that county in the above respect would
be considerably decreased. But the fact of there being more rapes in
Monmouth than elsewhere would appear to be owing to the very excess of
males over females in that county; the average, therefore, has been
calculated from the entire population.
