This result was almost too clear and
convincing, so to check it I compiled figures for the four states having the most access to
the internet. Three out of four of these states showed declines (in New Jersey, an almost
50% decline). Alaska was an anomaly: it increased both in internet access and incidence
of rape. However, the population of Alaska is less than one-tenth that of the other three
states in its category. To adjust for the disparity in population, I took the combined
population of the four states in each table and calculated the percentage change in the
rape statistics:
