Rape is an uncontrolled issue in today’s society because it impacts millions of humans all over the globe (Ferro, Cermele & Saltzman, 2008). Rape is one of the most hated, puzzling and frightful crimes. We can find first mentions about rape in Greek mythology and later in ancient Rome. In this essay we will try to understand the nature of rape, analyze people’s views on this issue and get the idea of marital rape and date rape. The legal definition of rape includes: “any sexual contact without voluntary consent”. And this definition has been extended so now it includes kissing, caress, anal penetration and oral sexual intercourse (Girard & Senn, 2008). Late researches indicated that every two minutes there is someone being assaulted (Ferro, Cermele & Saltzman, 2008). According to Deming, et al (2013) one in six females will suffer from rape in their lives and 29% of these rapes will occur during the gap between 18 and 24 years. For a long time rape has been considered as not very offensive crime because mostly men commit it against women and for a long time women had no power in the world, but positive changes towards this issue occurred as feminism reached success in 1970s. Awareness programs were formed in the USA and rape became a violent crime rather then a sexual crime. (Ferro, Cermele & Saltzman, 2008). Nevertheless, researchers say that rape is accepted by the greatest part of US citizens. This is because rape in people’s eyes is considered as not that dangerous, physically and psychologically harmful as other violent offences such as homicide, robbery or abduction. (Ferro, Cermele & Saltzman, 2008). It is also hard to investigate rape because it looks different for each individual. Rape’s perception may be affected by victim’s understanding of racism, sexism and cultural ideas. Researchers say that only 11% of people over 18 tend to report rape, which makes this crime even more difficult to investigate (Lundrigan & Mueller-Johnson, 2013). Frequently, females may not determine themselves as victims of sexual assault. And those women who recognize themselves as victims of the rape may not report to the police because of shame they might feel or because of a mark of disgrace associated with rape victims. As a consequence, rape is identified only when it fits to the simple and stereotyped understanding of rape, which makes it hard to progress in discovering patterns of rape and police investigations. In addition, certain researches have been held in order to discover myths of rape. One of the myths claims that victim is guilty for being raped by wearing attractive clothes or being along in the night, or by drinking alcohol. Despite the fact that males willing to believe these myth, females also accept it. In an experiment on scholars it was discovered that 24,7% of girls believe that man can expect to have a sexual intercourse if woman touches him in a sexual way (Deming at al., 2
