Deaf Chinese Victims ‘Beaten, Raped, Intimidated’

Deaf victims ‘beaten, raped, intimidated’ into stealing in Chinese crime gang in China.

CHANGCHUN, China -- A Deaf woman has been arrested in northeast China and accused of leading a gang of mainly deaf-mute thieves who were threatened and intimidated into a life of crime, a newspaper reported.

Police in Changchun in Jilin province busted the gang last month and detained four women and seven men, most of whom are Deaf, the New Culture Express reported. The gang’s leaders pretended to help people get jobs to lure them into the gang, the article said.

Victims then had their identity cards and money seized by the gang’s boss, Gu Li, 47. Gang members would be beaten up, raped or threats made to kill their relatives if they did not go out and steal, the report said.

They targeted supermarkets and would cram expensive items inside their clothes to steal them. The gang stole about 100,000 yuan (HK$120,00 ) worth of goods in Changchun, the police were quoted as saying.

Three hundred and sixty people were arrested in a national crackdown in China three years ago and accused of abducting Deaf students and forcing them to carry out robberies.

Sixty-one gangs were discovered in 21 provinces around China.

Gallaudet Sees Rise In Reported Sexual Assaults

Statistics Report - What we know about the data on college sexual assaults, surprisedly Gallaudet University the 1st ranks in the U.S.

WASHINGTON, DC -- This blog focuses on the news out there on internet about Gallaudet University being No. 1 on the list with highest numbers of rape reports.

For Gallaudet, a college for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, the answer might simply be that campus officials speak sign language. As one Gallaudet offical told Emily Shire at The Daily Beast: “Our students are more likely to go somewhere on campus and report assault than go to a hospital because they have direct access to someone who speaks American Sign Language.”

Ricky Taylor also known as Ridor9th's vlog explains about the Judicial Affairs & Honor Codes in colleges & universities, plus Gallaudet's community at large. Plus, Taylor was sexually assaulted, too in 2002. Not many people knew of that as well - only 8 or 10 knew the truth.

The rise in reported sexual assaults on campus may be attributable to more awareness and, importantly, better procedures. College rankings are a pernicious business particularly so if you’re looking at sexual assault statistics.

Thanks to the 1990 Clery Act, colleges are required to report data on campus crime every year, including the number of incidents (or attempted incidents) of rape or sexual battery. But it’s pretty obvious that this number depends not only on the prevalence of sexual assault on campus, but also how diligently the college handles allegations of rape. As Nick Anderson reported recently, there are pending investigations at 89 colleges over how these schools dealt with reports of sexual violence.

A quick glance at the colleges with the most per-capita reports of sexual assault shows that they tend to be small, liberal arts colleges. (We’ve averaged the data for 2011 and 2012 to get a smoother picture.) It’s possible that Gallaudet, Grinnell, and Reed are the most sexually violent campuses in the nation, but it’s more plausible that these campuses have cultivated an environment where survivors feel more comfortable speaking out...
