The Crime Of Rape / Responsibility, Blame, & Reporting The Incident
[ send me this paper ]
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.
