...that victim are four times greater for a college female student than for any other age group. The phenomenon of date rape is not new, however it has evolved into a communication phenomenon, in which communication about sex and rape, the negotiation of consent, the rape itself, the aftermath of rape and the reaction to date rape, are central to defining a rape culture on campus. Women have been muted in a multitude of ways, including the methods in which women tell stories, through male-controlled media, in ways women’s bodies are portrayed and analyzed, and through censorship of women’s voices. Rape is a horrible experience, so why would women keep quiet about it. Campus cultures perpetuate the `culture of silence` that exists among young men and women by fostering a culture of rape which silences experiences and advocates victim blaming (self blame) that is set ablaze by the social acceptance of rape myths, experiences not being defined as rape, secondary rape, and the absence of deterrence, all of which create an underlying tolerance towards rape. In this paper I will examine how women are affected by the rape supportive culture that exists on campuses and creates an internalization of self blame are muted before, during, and after the experience of date rape. Both male and female students contribute to muting women, thus perpetuating a rape culture in which rape becomes an expectation, or part of the social milieu. Only a male dominated society that trains men to use women as...

Statictics used by the USR and NCVS as well as the strengths and weaknesses are listed. This paper also discusses the different type of drugs used in date or acquaintance rape as well as how the victim is viewed in the eyes of others. Introduction There are different types of rapes: stranger rape, statutory rape and spousal rape are just to name a few. The UCR and the NCVS view rape differently. The UCR stands for Uniform Crime Report and NCVS stands for National Crime Victimization Survey. Drugs and alcohol can play a role in date or acquaintance rape. Drugs used in date rape cases are GHB, Rohypnol and Ketamine. No victim of rape should feel that they are to blame for being raped and changes to policy are needed to address different issues of rape such as date rape. UCR STATISTIC • The URC program is a tool that law enforcement agencies in different areas and regions could report and exchange important information about crime. • In 2009, the estimated volume of rape was 2.6 percent lower than the estimated 2008 rape volume. • The rate of forcible rape was 56.6 per 100,000 in 2009.

... One of the risk factors to the baby is that it’s more likely to be born pre-mature or with a lower birth rate, possibly resulting in neurological defects. Many teenage mothers do not receive proper care during their pregnancy. Adolescent mothers aren’t as successful as caring for their babies as an adult mother would be. Also, the babies are more likely to grow up within a delinquent setting as well. Two types of sexual abuse are sexual harassment and rape.

The New York Times. The New York Times, 12 June 1993. Web. 6 Oct. 2015. In this article the author states, “Many women who say yes to men they know, whether on dates or on the job, would say no if they could… Women’s silence sometimes is the product not of a passion and desire but of pressure and fear.” Women are often unwilling participants, they say yes because they are afraid to say no. Some men have an intimating factor that makes women feel vulnerable and defenseless. Women sometimes have trouble communicating what they want or do not want. Most men go after the woman who he knows will be afraid and timid. "Listening, Talking to Your Partner Can Prevent Date Rape." Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles Times, 23. Aug. 1999. Web. 6 Oct. 2015.

...What are the types of violence against women? Behaviors included in the broad category of violence against women include homicide, intimate partner abuse, psychological abuse, dating violence, same-sex violence, elder abuse, sexual assault, date rape, acquaintance rape, marital rape, stranger rape and economic abuse. The effects of this violence can negatively affect a woman’s reproductive health, as well as other aspects of her physical and mental well-being. Long-term risks include chronic pain, physical disability, drug and alcohol abuse and depression. Women with a history of physical or sexual abuse also have an increased risk for unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections and adverse pregnancy outcomes. The vast majority of violence against females is perpetrated by males. Are some women more at risk for physical assault than others? Physical assault by someone known to the victim is a leading cause of injury to women. Nearly two million women are assaulted each year in the United States, and more than half of women will be physically assaulted during their lifetime. A large proportion of women (64 percent) reporting rape, physical assault and/or stalking, were victimized by a current or former partner. Even pregnant women are not immune from physical violence inflicted by partners. Violence directed toward women by their partners during pregnancy affects as many as 324,000 annually. Does risk for violence against women change with age? Violence...

...Known Strangers Acquaintance rape, commonly known as "date rape," is a form of sexual violence. Acquaintance rape is nonconsensual occurring between individuals known to one another, such as a current or former friend, acquaintance, someone you’re dating, or relative. Many people believe acquaintance rape is acceptable if the boy spent money on the girl, if the girl has a promiscuous sex history, or if the male and female have been dating or married. (David G. Curtis, Ph.D., B.C.E.T.S. “Perspectives on Acquaintance Rape” A rape victim sometimes experience secondary victimization from the police, friends, and family.) By being blamed for her behavior, the way she dressed, or for being alone with a man. This usually leads to victims blaming themselves for what have happened to them. Regardless of the circumstances, I feel as though using force, power, and violence to have sex with someone against their will is wrong.

...Effects of Bullying Introduction Having been recognized as an expected yet serious problem in the society, bullying is no longer considered as new problem in the society. Bullying can come in various forms and it can happen to both children and adults. There is a high likelihood that most adults and children each have stories to share which relates to each of their personal experiences either of bullying, or victimization, or witnessing acts of aggression toward others. As perennial as it can get, becoming a victim of bullies has often received the notion of being viewed as a normal part of growing up, or as some have put it, a rite of passage for children and adolescents. In the late 1970s, perspectives began to change as this outlook was looked into by the different researches. It sheds new light on the damaging effects on youths’ growth and development with respect to bullying and victimization. An increase in the awareness of bullying and victimization as well as how it resulted to be a widespread societal problem has been the initial outcome of the innovative research which has encouraged other research on this phenomenon. The beginnings of research on this social issue have been primarily conducted in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries for a number of years. As the research has been shared with other experts the world over, it resulted to the spawning of the exploration on this topic and has reached other countries, including Japan, England, Netherlands,...

...Sex Laws “Ninety percent of children who are sexually abused know their abuser.

Because of present-day laws in four states including California, today’s sex offenders, whether it was a petty offense such as consensual sex with a minor or peeing in a public park, or a major offence such as rape or molestation must register himself or herself as a sex offender onto an online database for the rest of their lives.

...considered in any two-party decisions. When a person is forcefully engaged in an unwanted sexual act that is sexual harassment or rape depending on the circumstance. Statistically, 68% of sexual assaults are not reported since 2010. Who knows if those percentages are higher than the average? The funny thing is that we will never know because no one cares in our society! Specifically, let’s talk about rape victims. The definition of rape according to the Oxford dictionary is, “The crime, typically committed by a man, of forcing another person to have sexual intercourse with the offender against their will”. There we have it folks, a definition to engrave in your growing brains. Knowledge is power! Once a rape case is filed, it is automatically assumed that the victim is to blame. Of course, being held against your will is definitely the victim’s fault, right? What about the perpetrator? Is he/she also against their will to put another human against theirs as well? Forget it, it’s most definitely not the perpetrator’s fault. You may ask, “Oh no, how are we capable to fix this injustice?”, well look no further, your fellow peer has a proposal that will knock your socks off. Sit back and relax as I take you back to memory lane, more specifically, back to the Puritan era and a mix of our modern day incentives. First of all, always remember that rape is the victim’s fault because they asked for it. Pay extra close attention to their attire, maybe even...
