Sample Essay

“The personal and societal views often include the misconception that rape is a crime of sex rather than one of power. Because of that belief, jurors tend to think that the female victim must have done something to arouse the perpetrator; otherwise, no assault would have occurred.” (Varelas and Foley, 1998) As a result it is increasingly difficult to prosecute whether the rape actually took place especially in the case of a date rape.

 

Consequently speaking it has now become a responsibility of the state and the government to take this issue in their hands. They should be putting stricter and harsher punishments against the perpetrators of the crime. Aside from this they will also have to change the way rape and sex crime based cases are handled and prosecuted. The victim also has to be provided more state and legal security. However in order for all this to work the state will first have to change people’s opinion about sex crimes. They need to be properly educated and a long term program has to be started in which people’s opinion of rape and consent has to be made clear.
