Rape Research
What are public perceptions of this theme?
When rape is mentioned in the media it normally reports on a brutal rape case that took place in an unfamiliar place, late at night, and that was committed by a minority. These are the cases that are most reported, but there are other cases that are much different and not as gory.
What is the problem?
The problem with this issue is that people only think that raps can take place in a dark ally at night by a minority. When this is not true. People tend to not think that they are not in danger in the middle of the day, when there are people around, and when they are not around a minority group. These people tend to not be prepared and let their guard down and this is when they are in the most danger.
Who is affected?
Really any one can be affected by the act of rape. The most common are younger women. Overall women in general are more affected by rape but a man can be raped as well.
What are the causes?
Rape can cause many unwanted things. Such as unexpected pregnancy and every thing that goes along with this. For example abortion. Another problem is STD’s that can be transfered. There can also be physical pain as well as mental pain that one goes through.
