rape

According to Wikipedia 'rape culture' is: "a setting, as described by some sociological theories, in which rape is pervasive and normalized due to that setting's attitudes about gender and sexuality. Behaviours commonly associated with rape culture include victim blaming, slut-shaming, sexual...

CNN reports: Man convicted of sexually abusing a woman on a plane could get life in prison Sentencing is Dec. 18. Does this seem excessive to anyone else? The majority of respondents to a Debate.org survey were heavily weighted toward approval. The crime as charged seems to be "sexual...

This campaign was started in Scotland. They released what is now kind of an old ad (from the summer), but it's pretty interesting. I personally think this is a good idea and would like to see a correlate in the states. More about the Not Ever campaign: Thoughts?

Source:BNP,MPA Well this was shocking... no wait, it wasn't! This is something we brain dead racist have known for quite a while now, but don't listen to us who have the answers. :( And remember, if you're voting anything other than the BNP you're voting the keep the floodgates wide OPEN.

I received one of these "send it to 5 friend type" of e-mails today from my father. Normally I bin them but if they are from family I always make a point of looking at it in case it comes up in conversation. This one was themed on child abuse and rape. Don't ask me I don't know? The mail...

I’m trying to find articles discussing the arguments for and against the supposed link between access to porn and rape. I’m not having much luck using google, can anyone help out here?

What do you guys think? Free Polanski or off with his head? Anyone see the Hollywood documentary slant piece on him "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired"? Purportedly the judge and prosecutor were in collusion and reneged on the plea bargain they made with Polanski, therefore he fled. What are...

Here's a link to a more (well barely) fleshed out article on the subject While i doubt that this law will be passed, to put the burden of proof on the accused to prove their innocence is a bit too much even for the Swedish feminists. But there seems to be a trend going on, not only in Sweden...

Sigh. I know it's not that long ago since we had a huge number of threads about rape and the way it is handled by police and the courts, but I still feel I had to start this thread. After the cases of John Warboys and Kirk Reid were completely bungled by London's specialist sex offences...

Amazon discontinued the sale of some obscure Japanese computer game. The reason? the game is a rape simulator in which the player gets to sexually assault women. There's lots of sexual violence in those Manga cartoons too. So rape themed erotica seems to be a major characteristic of Japanese...

I came across this rather disturbing article on our local news; believe it or not it's worse than it sounds. Unborn baby cut from Afghani rape victim Classy. :rolleyes: If anyone needs any evidence that Radical Islam is a sickness that needs to be eradicated immediately, here it is.

I have been saddened by the recent threads on violence and sexual assault and I had largely withdrawn from the discussion because they are not doing anything other than polarising something which should not divide us in this way. It is deeply depressing. But I have been led to try again because...

I was reading KingMerv00's thread on whether men are more violent than women and I came across this. I do not wish to derail that thread but I cannot let this pass without comment. The attrition rate in rape cases is shockingly high and there is no evidence I have seen which supports the...

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-tofte30-2008jun30,0,7035497.story seems to me like this should be a top priority for crime labs, it is a felony after all. what. the. ****.

Not sure if this belongs here or in religion, but it's just too horrible a case not to bring up. http://yementimes.com/article.shtml?i=1145&p=front&a=2 Seriously one of the most screwed-up situations I've ever read. Fortunately, it does not appear that Court officials are going to return her...

Unless the child is murdered I say no. Not because the perp doesn't deserve death but I believe if the perp was facing the death penalty they would be more likely to kill the kid after the crime. Leave the death penalty up to the other inmates.

Sylvia's often described as "working on" missing persons/ homicide cases (and more than a few cases of missing bodies, I might add) but she occassionally got asked to solve other crimes. She was asked to help find a perpetrator in a few rapes, assaults, abductions over the years. I'm putting...

So this is a tough one because it's not a homicide or disappearance but a rape (so the victims were likely never identified by name, enspecially since one was 17 at the time of the crime and one was just 19). So far, I've found nothing on it. I can't imagine it never having been reported...

Family of Tawana Brawley Wants to Revisit Infamous Rape Case Sunday, November 18, 2007 NEW YORK — Twenty years after her allegations of a racially charged rape became a national flashpoint, Tawana Brawley's mother and stepfather want to reopen the case, a newspaper reported Sunday. Glenda...

Monday, November 5, 2007 Radical feminists have long believed that there's a connection between the objectification of women and porn. These study seems to show otherwise. TITLE; Monday, November 5, 2007 IL - Is pornography a catalyst of sexual violence? No In the 1980s, conservatives and...

A disturbing story about an epidemic of rape and violence in Congo. Sometimes I find it hard to understand why life is so different in some third-world countries. What is wrong with these people? Colonialism was a long time ago. At some point I don't think you can point to that as an excuse...

Charge added for man "not warning the [rape] victim that he was HIV-positive" Link. So, if he had simply warned her first, that would have lessened the offense? :wackyskeptical:

Story and video of the hearing here.

I've never liked college football players. This was especially true after writing an article for my college newspaper (eons ago) about the dismal record of our football team. I suggested that they be allowed to play some of the local middle-schools to bolster their record. I heard later that...
