Even with domestic events, lawyers don't commit any more rapes and murders than any other occupation so there's no reason to single them out. Soldiers probably do commit more rapes and murders than many other occupations, but that's mostly from soldiers serving in poorly disciplined forces or in forces where such activities are ordered by some dictator or by the military command structure as part of a method to try to demoralize and control the enemy (for example what happened in the Balkans), or from forces where hatred and/or racial superiority is drummed in to the armed force (for example Japan's army during WWII, they where not generally ill-disciplined in the way that some third world banana republic's army might be, but they committed a lot of atrocities. I don't think the US army has any extraordinary level of rape either in the US or abroad.
