Rape And The Effects Of It

Introduction

Rape is a "forced sexual intercourse with someone by force, obtained by coercion, which is a criminal offense". A more restrictive definition provides that the report should include a sexual penetration; the old definition of Littre stated that it was violence against a woman that is taken by force. The term rape means, in general language, "violation" or "transgression", so it is common to use as a synonym for "breaking", especially as part of terms of address such as rape, rape of correspondence, violation of contracts between other (Abbey, BeShears, et al, 2004). However, it is mainly used to refer to cases in the field of human sexual behavior and to indicate that there has been a breach of a sexual nature, which undermines the dignity and violates the human right to sexual freedom. Thus, rape is defined from the point of view of sexuality, sexual contact as anyone with any person who, for whatever reason, cannot (mentally incapable, minors, people who are in a state of unconsciousness) or not want to give their consent. The violation is of vital importance in the global legal framework, and we must remember that is considered a felony for committing a series of assets legally protected as part of the fundamental rights of human beings (Abbey, BeShears, et al, 2004).

Rape Victims And The Statistics Of Men And Female Children And Adult Victims

In general, few statistics on this crime is investigated in the last few decades are available. Countries that continue with the most successful sex offenders seem to have the highest rate of rapists, while countries where rape is generally ignored by society ignore this crime. Similarly, the numbers of false accusations of rape vary widely by source (Alberto, 2006). The FBI Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), 1996, shows that 8% of rape allegations prove false, but that does not include situations where complainants refuse to cooperate with the police. A controversial 1994 investigation to the United States conducted by Eugene J. Kanin would have resulted, after 9 years (1978-1987), a figure of 41% (with variations from 25% to 85% depending on the date). This figure would include only the charges to be false by the complainant themselves, which suggests that the real figure could be higher (Struckman-Johnson, Cindy, et al, 2006).

Organizations working with victims of sexual violence accused the police in the small town where Kanin made the investigation to use the polygraph to intimidate victims and refuse to investigate some claims. According to David Lisak, this study is not one really, since it merely relates the opinions of the police by taking their own methodology. According to a study published in 2010 Lisak Violence against Women in the rate of false accusations would be closer to 5.9%. A high proportion of rapes are never counted in the statistics since not legally recognized as a crime in the country, and also very often because it is difficult for victims to file the charge ...
