[quote=@Vilageidiotx] It's sort of bizarre. Aside from there being a relationship between rape and proximity to Texas, there isn't much of a correlation here to explain the states that stick out. [/quote] Texas is pretty normal compared to its northern neighbors as well. But if this is for reported rape could there be a difference in terms of how rape is thought of between these states? Alaska - being the northern Florida - is probably about on par with cold-weather expectations. I bet its the Anchorage area that's carrying that state.
