Others will say that they can’t explain it, but they know it when they see it. Emilie Buchwald, the author of Transforming a Rape Culture describes rape culture as “a complex set of beliefs that encourage male sexual aggression and supports violence against women.” The people of a rape culture assume that violence is a fact of life when in reality it is not, and is actually the values and attitudes of a society, which are quite possible to change. Rather than teaching that people shouldn’t rape, they try to teach what to do to make it less likely that a rapist will choose you. The Marshall University Women’s Center explains that “Rape culture is perpetuated through the use of misogynistic language, the objectification of women’s bodies, and the glamorization of sexual violence, thereby creating a society that disregards women’s rights and safety.” America has objectified sex to the point where it’s more about reaching a goal of obtaining sex than it is about intimacy and emotions. According to Becky Lockwood, the associate director at a center for women, this causes people to see sex as a commodity, making them think it is okay to do whatever they deem necessary to acquire it, even if that means violence.

Factors including, but not limited to, the social context at the time of the crime, the social perception of deviance, the influence of the media, and the misconduct of investigating police and prosecution played a substantial role in the subsequent miscarriage of justice. Society wrongful conviction of the case of David Milgaard, involving the rape and murder of Gail Miller in the year 1969 is no different than that of the millions of others that society has perceived as deviants and threats to the moral values and standards of the time.. By being labelled as luminal, groups are often perceived as being threatening to society and as a result tied to committing criminal activity. The police often have an image of the suspect before the suspect is distinguished (often the image deriving from the top members of society). In the case of David Milgaard, this use of character discrimination labelled him as a culprit based on appearance and not on whether he committed the crime or not. Unfortunately, David Milgaard just so happened to fit the infiltrator.
Theory of sexual offence and victim impact Sexual practices have varied across time and culture, but ultimately the role of family as a unit has high influences and dictates the perceived norm, this applies in all areas of sexual offence such as rape and child molestation, and sexual deviance which can range anywhere from homosexuality to exhibitionism and fetishism to sadism. Distinguishing between them is on some levels hard as laws differ from country to country and state to state and due to anthropology. Ultimately the illegal behaviour of sexual offences/crime and legal sexual deviance is dictated by the social constructs in which you live, and how they change over time. For instance, homosexuality was at one stage illegal, while now it is a commonly excepted form of lifestyle-in most parts. For the purposes of this essay the sexual offence that will be focused on is child sexual abuse.
The purpose of today's talk is to start a debate about how we in society view the offence of rape and whether we bring our conscious or subconscious views and stereotypes to our consideration of it. Rape is a serious crime and one in which there have been a number of reports and recommendations over the years looking at how we improve the way in which these cases go through the Criminal Justice System. It is surprising when looking back that it was only in 1991 that the law was clarified to recognize rape could be committed within a marriage. Before then a husband could rape his wife with impunity. It is also not that long ago that we did not have rape specialists either investigating or prosecuting these cases and victim care was awful.
