I would intuitively expect murder to be more common than child sexual abuse, but perhaps I am being naive.



I don't know what you mean.

Do you mean "more people are murdered than are sexually abused"? That's trivially disproved, although the numbers are tricky.

One in twenty children are sexually abused. http://www.nspcc.org.uk/services-and-resources/research-and-...

Or 27% of women and 16% of men were sexually abused as children. (Abstract doesn't give a country). http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/01452134909...

In 2013/2014 there were less than 600 homicides recorded.

In a population of 60m 1 in 20 is 3,000,000
