Date Rape and Date Rape Drugs

Date rape - it is one of the most common, and rarely the catechumens, of the forms of rape that occurs. However, the rapist is not only known to the victim but, it's also a man who trusted date rape can be extremely destructive in their effects (Nicholson, 2001). Until recent years, date rape is not taken seriously by the police, but fortunately this is changing.

This woman can feel even more powerless before the judicial system, since it can demonstrate or poisoning it has been, or rape she suffered in addition to having forgotten everything, or the resistance it would normally prove to the aggressor.

They are also found in pubs, brasseries and cafes, in short in all where beverages (alcoholic or not) are served. Private parties do no exception either.
