46. Discuss how perspectives have changed in cases of wives raped by their husbands and male rape victims.
ANSWER:
The feminist movement in the 1970s argued that all forcible sex should be illegal and
criminalized. Marital rape was officially recognized in 1975, when South Dakota rewrote
its rape laws to include husbands. It took until 1993 for all states to follow suit.
Nonetheless, there are approximately 30 states that provide for the marital relationship as a
mitigating factor in sentencing. Raped males were assumed to be rare victims. The concept
of a man raping another male conjures up many cultural taboos and myths. Congress
revised the federal rape statutes to be gender-neutral, meaning that both the offender and
the victim could be male or female. Males have a 3 percent lifetime prevalence of being
sexually assaulted, and it is most likely to occur before they reach the age of 18. Yet most
statistics will be inaccurate, as most men do not report, and statistics also do not include
sexual assaults occurring in institutional settings, such as mental hospitals and prisons.

correlation with how the crime is treated by the public and the criminal justice process.
The “ideal type” of rape, where there are few legal questions or moral doubts, is when a
stranger rapes an unsuspecting woman. The female victim is engaged in a wholesome
activity and is representative of mainstream America. She has fully resisted, the offender
had a weapon, and she immediately reported the rape to the police who were able to
retrieve sufficient evidence from the crime scene to convict. The victim of the ideal type is
treated with full respect and dignity throughout the criminal justice process. Stranger rapes
are, however, the least common. The most likely type is acquaintance rape. Here there is a
relationship between the offender and victim: they are either neighbors, relatives, or work
together. Most often the offender uses this relationship as a source of intimidation and
therefore is less likely to use a weapon. There is less force in the attack and less resistance.
The victim may not report the rape right away and evidence may be limited to her word
against his. The criminal justice process will explore her “contributory behavior,” try to
diminish her character, and point to the lack of forceful resistance. The same reaction by
society and the criminal justice process is true in date rape cases.

48. Describe “rape shield” laws and their purposes. Explain how these laws support either the “victim–blaming” or
“victim–defending” perspective.
ANSWER:
Rape shield laws are laws held in most states governing what the defense attorneys in rape
cases can introduce as evidence regarding the victim’s past sexual conduct. Defense
attorneys are limited to evidence of convictions of prostitution or having had previous
sexual relations with the defendant. If the defense attorney is seeking to bring up a
victim’s past sexual history, a hearing must be conducted before the judge alone to
determine whether the defense is justified in bringing up this history by its relevance.
Victim defenders argue that rape shield laws encourage reporting and increase the
prosecution rate, and that juries should not be distracted by a victim’s past sexual history
when they should be looking at the defendant’s behavior. Victim blamers contend that
such limitations have an impact on the defendant’s right to confront his accuser.

49. Outline and discuss the fears about intrusive press coverage, unwanted publicity, and victim-blaming accusations that
discourage some sexual assault victims from turning to the criminal justice system for help.
ANSWER:
Victim-blaming presents a barrier to women wanting to report a rape, especially in the
majority of cases when the offender is an acquaintance. Society has often focused on the
blame-worthiness of the victim, arguing that she was “asking for trouble” by what she was
wearing, how she was acting, or with whom she was associating. Any behavior outside the
socially prescribed gender roles will be the heart of the blame. If she was drinking,
hanging out in a bar, or flirting, these behaviors would be viewed as careless acts
contributing to inevitable victimization.
The media are more concerned with covering stranger rapes and rapes that included
physical injuries than with covering acquaintance rapes, the most common type. The
media will simplify the character of the victim to either a pure, innocent woman, or a slut.
With the latter, the blame will be placed on the victim and this will be publicized widely,
having detrimental impacts on the victim’s chances of obtaining justice through the
criminal justice process. There has been controversy over whether to publicize the name
of the rape victim. One side contends that rape victims need the additional protection,
especially in light of the social mores that tend to blame her. The flip side contends that
this is a violation of a defendant’s right to a fair trial, and that the media should not be
censored.

50. Explain three approaches to addressing the crime of sexual assault through history.
ANSWER:
The oldest approach to addressing sexual assault, which has been strongly denounced
today, was that of victim-blaming, for example, “she was asking for it” by behaving
believed that women would be protected if the criminal justice system ensured that sexual
predators were imprisoned and then received intensive treatment. Also, since the public
could never be sure that a released offender was completely cured, this approach requires
community laws for monitoring former sex offenders and for notifying victims and
neighbors whenever a former offender moves nearby.
Critics of both victim-blaming and offender-blaming—as well as of victim-defending, which
tends to be compatible with offender-blaming—find these approaches too narrowly
focused on the individual offenders and victims. They say that this focus on individuals
disregards critical cultural, economic, political, and social influences regarding sex– and
gender-based interactions and inequalities. Instead of blaming the individuals, people with
this view take an institution-blaming perspective. Reflecting this perspective, they
developed an approach to gender inequity in social institutions, particularly families,
religions, the military, and the media. This approach examines the impact of sexual
exploitation of women, how children are raised to fit gender roles, and traditional gender
roles that support male aggression against women.
