The Crime Of Rape / Responsibility, Blame, & Reporting
The Incident : A 12 page research paper in which the writer
discusses the failure of most women to report rape due to the
unfortunate reality that society fails to accept their definition of
rape in many cases and is not always sympathetic towards their
plea for justice. Comparisons are made between male and
female views of rape and who should be blamed. For example,
men are more likely to blame the woman if she is known to
have acted in a provocative, "sexy" fashion whereas women
may blame a rape victim because of their need to feel that they
are in control of a violent situation and also because of their
need to distance themselves from the victim. Disparate
psychological issues concerning recovery & coping are also
discussed. Bibliography lists more than 20 sources.
