Media coverage of sex crimes becomes particularly saturated whenNOT there FOR is aSALE high-profile OR DISTRIBUTION crime involving a well known victim orNOT offender, FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION or when there are especially gruesome aspects of the crime.

However,SALE OR the DISTRIBUTION problem with rape and sexual offenses is far more complex than just the ter- rible nature of the crimes themselves and the fear they bring to so many. It is the combination of the crime and the community’s reaction, coupled with the many myths and victim stereotypes that make this type of crime so difficult © Jones & Bartlett Learning,to investigate LLC and even more difficult© Jones to prosecute. & Bartlett Learning, LLC NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTIONLanning and Hazelwood2 addressNOT several FOR important SALE OR concepts DISTRIBUTION in the prob- lem of investigating and prosecuting these types of crimes. First, they address the general societal attitude of denial concerning aspects of child sexual abuse, child prostitutes, rape, and other sexual crimes. Denial in this context means © Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC © Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC 1 The NOT terms FOR sex-related SALE crimes OR and DISTRIBUTION sex crimes are used interchangeably to describeNOT the many FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION offenses involving sex acts. What constitutes these offenses may differ by culture, jurisdiction, and legal definition. However, they generally include but are not limited to any forced sexual acts or other offenses including sodomy, incest, and child pornography, and may include status crimes such as carnal knowledge. 2 Lanning, K.

The second problem is the general stereotypical under- standing of the term sex crimes. Because when we hear the word “sex” we think of terms like pleasure, ecstasy, warmth, sharing, love, and emotion, which of course are generally pleasant and comforting to us. But the word © Jones & “crime”Bartlett is associatedLearning, with LLC violence, anger, devastation,© Jones and fear, & Bartlettwhich are Learning, LLC NOT FOR SALEoften linked OR DISTRIBUTIONto physical harm and punishment. The NOTtwo words FOR really SALE do notOR DISTRIBUTION go together and for laymen what is generally heard or understood is the sex part of the term.

All we have to do is think of our own individual response or imagine the public’s response to any of the more common crimes such as the theft of a motor vehicle, the burglary of a home, or even physical child abuse. In each of these crimes the public can almost always accept and empathize with the© victim, Jones because & Bartlett no one Learning,wants to lose LLC their possessions, no one wants© Jones to & Bartlett Learning, LLC seeNOT another FOR person, SALE particularly OR DISTRIBUTION a child, injured, and certainly there isNOT a great FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION deal of general animus by the public toward the offenders and their criminal acts.

OR DISTRIBUTION As we will cover in more detail throughout this text, sex-related crimes are the only ones where we, culturally or as a society, tend to more readily disbelieve victims when they make a report of their sexual victimization; and before their complaint is taken seriously, we almost insist that victims be able © Jones & Bartlett Learning,to prove LLC they are not lying.

THE RAPE SYSTEM: OLD ROLES AND NEW TIMES Sally Gold and Martha Wyatt* I. INTRODUCTION A rape victim who chooses to report the attack upon her to the authori- ties endures particular embarrassment and shame. The progress of her case through our criminal justice system has been compared to a second rape; the victim is made to feel that she, rather than the attacker, is on trial. If her assailant is adjudged not guilty, she must also endure damage to her reputation. What is most unfortunate, however, is that the shameful treat- ment she receives is a direct result of our society's rape laws, which are not designed to protect her, but rather the male possessory interest in her. Two elements are involved in the crime of rape: the penetration with force by the attacker and the lack of consent of the attacked. Each element is separate and distinct; one does not necessarily constitute evidence of the other.

Over time, the resolution of competing factual accounts has evidenced a deeply skeptical orientation toward rape accusers. This incredulous stance remains firmly lodged, having migrated from formal legal rules to informal practices, with much the same result—an enduring system of disbelief. Introducing the concept of “credibility discounting” helps to explain the dominant feature of our legal response to rape. Although false reports of rape are uncommon, † Class of 1940 Research Professor of Law, Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law. J.D., Yale Law School; A.B., Harvard College.

Jude McCulloch, Monash University and Monash Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre, Australia. JaneMaree Maher, Centre for Women’s Studies and Gender Research Sociology, Monash University, Australia. Emerald Studies in Criminology, Feminism and Social Change offers a platform for innovative, engaged, and forward-looking feminist-informed work to explore the interconnections between social change and the capacity of criminology to grapple with the implications of such change. Social change, whether as a result of the movement of peoples, the impact of new technologies, the potential consequences of climate change, or more commonly iden- tified features of changing societies, such as ageing populations, inter-generational conflict, the changing nature of work, increasing awareness of the problem of gen- dered violence(s), and/or changing economic and political context, takes its toll across the globe in infinitely more nuanced and inter-connected ways than previously imag- ined. Each of these connections carry implications for what is understood as crime, the criminal, the victim of crime and the capacity of criminology as a discipline to make sense of these evolving interconnections. Feminist analysis, despite its conten- tious relationship with the discipline of criminology, has much to offer in strengthen- ing the discipline to better understand the complexity of the world in the twenty-first century and to scan the horizon for emerging, possible or likely futures.

  • The Hidden Truth: an Institutional Look at the Underreporting of Rape
    The Hidden Truth: An Institutional Look at the Underreporting of Rape Nathaniel Louderback Creighton University I. Research Question Every six seconds a woman somewhere in the United States is raped (U.S. Department of Justice, 1999). This issue is one of the many concerning women’s rights in the United States. There are many female activist groups in the country, and they offer many services that are aimed at the bettering women’s lives. Looking at the number of reported rapes for cities showed that there were vast differences between cities, even with cities that were close together in population. The cities of Miami, Phoenix, and Seattle all have approximately three million citizens, but Miami reported 113 rapes, Phoenix reported 422, and Seattle reported 181. This is a large discrepancy over a small population variable. So how do we explain the variation in the number of rape reports per capita for a metropolitan area? A metropolitan area is defined as all areas included in a city area according to the metropolitan area data on the United States Census. The official rape report is the number of rapes a metropolitan area reports to the Uniform Crime Reports for the year of 1999. Per capita is defined by the number of people living in a given metropolitan area and will be determined by the Census. The research for this project will concentrate on metropolitan areas with more than one million residents. This is done to ensure there is not a statistical error for smaller cities where one rape case would be a substantial portion of their population.

  • A Theory of Rape Culture in American Public Policy
    THE UNITED STATES OF RAPE: A THEORY OF RAPE CULTURE IN AMERICAN PUBLIC POLICY ______________ A University Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, East Bay _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Sexuality and Social Justice _______________ By Alexandra Kelner September, 2013 Abstract Rape is a crime in the United States. But it is also one of the most underreported crimes in America, has very low prosecution and conviction rates compared to other violent crimes, and the level of social disdain attached to rape is rarely reflected in the formal punishments enacted for its perpetration. "Rape Culture" has become a popular term in rape prevention education and advocacy; it refers to a society that contains within it practices and ideologies that minimize the negative impacts of victimization, while condoning and perpetuating the perpetration of acts of sexual violence. This paper outlines some of the characteristics of a so-called "rape culture" and explores how these characteristics are manifested in law and policy at the federal level in the United States through the examination of marital rape laws, sexuality education policy and welfare policy. i ii Table of Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………1 Methods and Limitations………………………………………………………………………………………9 Why “Rape Culture?”: Key Definitions and Assumptions……………9 Culture………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………9 Rape……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………11 Ideology and Practice in Public Policy…………………………………13 Paper Organization………………………………………………………………………………………17 Chapter One: American Rape Culture……………………………………………………………………………………………22 The American Rape Narrative………………………………………………………………22 Defining Rape Culture………………………………………………………………………………29 Chapter Two: Law and Order: Rape Culture In American Public Policy………51 To Have, To Hold and To Rape: U.S.

Rape originated as a crime against property, not a crime against a person. As such, the crime related to patriarchal inheritance rights and a female’s reproductive capacity, and was limited to crimes against unmarried virgins and included only forcible penile/vaginal penetration.

Adamo* INTRODUCTION A woman is raped by her husband the day after undergoing gyneco- logical surgery, which causes her to hemorrhage and return to the hos- pital.' Another woman is forced to have sex at knifepoint by her es- tranged husband. Conscience and justice dictate that the perpetrators of such crimes must suffer some punishment. Many common law coun- tries, however, still sustain the misbelief that a husband is incapable of raping his wife, due to the presumption of a wife's absolute, irrevocable consent to any sexual acts during the course of marriage.3 These laws provide a husband with immunity from prosecution for marital rape simply because of his status as husband.4 Yet, this prospect is unsound.
