Download or read book Attitudes Toward Rape written by Colleen A. Ward and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1995-06-22 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative book looks at popular perceptions of sexual violence and asks such key questions as: How is rape' defined? Who is responsible for sexual assault? How can rape be prevented? The author critically examines feminist and psychological theory and research on attitudes towards rape. Drawing on case studies, survey research, experiments, fieldwork and action-oriented research from Europe, North America and Asia, Ward combines qualitative and quantitative approaches to understanding sexual violence. She highlights the negative consequences for rape victims of biased and prejudicial perceptions of sexual violence, including those of legal, medical and helping professionals, and discusses the impact of these attitudes on victims' self-perceptions. The book concludes by suggesting strategies for changing ideas about sexual assault, including, for example, action-oriented research which is designed to raise consciousness and improve services for victims.

Abstract: Law Lik Hang, Darick Abstract ABSTRACT Rape and sexual assault, among all violent crimes in Hong Kong, has a low reporting and conviction rate, implying attrition occurs because victims fail to report, and if they report prosecutions often do not proceed. The purpose of this research is to examine the role of societal attitudes toward rape in Hong Kong, and their influence on the attrition, through the criminal justice system, of sexual assault cases. Variations in attitudes toward rape by gender, age, education level, and other personal traits, as well as the attitudes of police and medical professionals, who have contact with rape and sex offence victims, are the focus. A total of 326 respondents completed a 97-item questionnaire on rape, heterosexual beliefs, violence and women, which combined several attitudinal scales used in previous research (Spence and Helmreich, 1978; Burt, 1980; Ward, 1988; Lonsway and Fitzgerald, 1995) and translated into Chinese. The questionnaire was employed to survey the attitudes of accident and emergency medical staff (N= 109), police officers (N= 108), rape counselors (N = 16) and university students (N= 93) towards women, heterosexual beliefs, violence and rape myths. The findings show strong differences in attitudes toward rape exist between the sexes and between medical and police professionals. The results confirm the findings of previous studies (e.g. Burt, 1980; Field, 1978; Ward, 1988) that men and police officers are the two groups that are the least sympathetic to rape victims and the most willing to accept rape myths. It was also found that rape myths were strongly related to general attitudes toward women, corresponding to the feminist's claims that rape is not only a sex crime but also helps to reinforce inequality and sex role stereotypes. Results of this study provide further evidence that the attitudes of 'frontline' staff will be crucial in influencing the propensity of sexual assault victims to report and that general attitudes to women may Law Lik Hang, Darick Abstract still play a role in determining the deserving status of the victim. Although not fully explored in this study, attitudinal data can assist in evaluating victim care and management by the police force, hospitals and voluntary organizations and the results suggest further attention is required in preparing these staff for victim support. Change in police and medical responses via a 'one-stop' service for victims may address the problem of under-reporting by reducing the likelihood of encountering unsympathetic support. A special service would also improve the efficiency and effectiveness of processing rape and sexual assault cases and enhance the quality of treatment that helps to minimize the short and long-term impact of victimization.

Book Synopsis Beyond Blurred Lines by : Nickie D. Phillips
Download or read book Beyond Blurred Lines written by Nickie D. Phillips and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its origins in academic discourse in the 1970s to our collective imagination today, the concept of “rape culture” has resonated in a variety of spheres, including television, gaming, comic book culture, and college campuses. Beyond Blurred Lines traces ways that sexual violence is collectively processed, mediated, negotiated, and contested by exploring public reactions to high-profile incidents and rape narratives in popular culture. The concept of rape culture was initially embraced in popular media – mass media, social media, and popular culture – and contributed to a social understanding of sexual violence that mirrored feminist concerns about the persistence of rape myths and victim-blaming. However, it was later challenged by skeptics who framed the concept as a moral panic. Nickie D. Phillips documents how the conversation shifted from substantiating claims of a rape culture toward growing scrutiny of the prevalence of sexual assault on college campuses. This, in turn, renewed attention toward false allegations, and away from how college enforcement policies fail victims to how they endanger accused young men. Ultimately, she successfully lends insight into how the debates around rape culture, including microaggressions, gendered harassment and so-called political correctness, inform our collective imaginations and shape our attitudes toward criminal justice and policy responses to sexual violence.

Book Synopsis RAPE CULTURE 101: Programming Change by : Geraldine Cannon Becker
Download or read book RAPE CULTURE 101: Programming Change written by Geraldine Cannon Becker and published by Demeter Press. This book was released on 2020-07-25 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people have been victims of rape, but we are all victims of what has been called a "rape culture." This topic deserves more attention towards education and prevention, and not just on the college campus. Rape culture is an idea that links rape and sexual violence to the culture of a society, and in which commonly-held beliefs, attitudes, and practices normalize, excuse, tolerate, and even condone rape. This edited collection examines rape culture in the context of the current programming-attitudes, education, and awareness. Contributors explore changing the programming in terms of educational processes, practices, and experiences associated with rape culture across diverse cultural, historical, and geographic locations. The complexity of rape culture is discussed from a variety of contexts and perspectives, as this volume contains interdisciplinary academic submissions from educators and students, as well as experiential accounts from members of various community settings who are doing work aimed at making a positive difference towards programming change.
