The historical treatment of rape charges often stemmed from men's extreme distrust of women when the alleged perpetrator was white (Wriggins). According to Encyclopedia Britannica Rape is the act of sexual intercourse with an individual without his or her consent, through force or the threat of force. In many jurisdictions, the crime of rape has been subsumed under that of sexual assault, which also encompasses acts that fall short of intercourse. Rape was long considered to be caused by unbridled sexual desire, but it is now understood as a pathological assertion of power over a victim (“Rape”). Rape is a decision.
Why did they do it? Fred West born 29th of September 1941, he became a British serial killer. He alone and with his second wife Rosemary tortured raped and killed a minimum of eleven girls between the years of 1967 to 1987. Fred west was born into a poor family which from an early life he witnessed much abuse within the family. He knew and had seen his father have incestuous relationships with his daughters, but it happened on a regular basis that it was “an accepted part of the house hold”.
Serial killers usually have a traumatic childhood, so it must be apparent that something went tremendously wrong with Aileen as a child that led her to be a psychotic serial killer. One of the main reasons that Aileen Wuornos became a serial killer was due to her upbringing. Her mother abandoned her very early in her childhood and her father was a convicted pedophile who eventually committed suicide in prison. One could only assume that she was adopted by close family members or a foster child. Another disturbing revelation about her childhood was that Aileen had sexual relations at a young age, but with her brother Keith.
The intoxicated man was yelling at his wife and twisted her arm. That is unwanted contact and the intoxicated man can be found liable for guilty of that. Even though the intoxicated man and Jane are married, it is not okay for the intoxicated man to treat Jane that way. Domestic Battery charges could be brought up on the intoxicated man, since Jane and he are husband and wife focus on the tort – not the crime. Mr. McPhillen can also be sued for charged with the intentional torts of Assault and Battery.
In addition, majority of jurisdictions consider force that can lead to serious bodily harm; for example, a bloodied head, as being equivalent to the use of a deadly weapon (Siegel & Senna, 2008). Sharon was already guilty of, aggravated assault and battery when she put her husband in fear of bodily harm. In fact, the harm does not necessarily have to happen, and the fact that it did makes it even more difficult to argue against the use of a deadly weapon (Siegel & Senna, 2008). The fact that Sharon not using a deadly weapon is not true makes this argument very
Just by giving a few examples one could speculate that the confession isn’t valid and is influenced by the author’s voice. Joseph Mountain was indeed a criminal but to call him a rapist is false. The fact that Joseph was an African American gave society to the right to call him a rapist and execute him just because he tried to talk to two white women. What else is known is that since he has a history of pretty crime this makes the story stick to some readers but I have debunked the accusation. It is clear that
Like I was saying earlier the most devastating thing to ever happen in my family, is that my parents both went to prison on some drug charges. My mother was involved in it even though she didn’t have anything to do with the it. My father was the one doing the drugs but luckily my god father bailed her out and that’s how I was born in Philadelphia, PA. I used to Show a great deal of hate towards my father when I found out that he was the reason that my mother has problems getting a decent job like her other family members in America. Then later on in my life I learned to love and forget, also that people make mistakes I just have to learn from their mistakes
Her siblings, however, do not believe the accusations. We have not only been falsely accused of a horrible crime, we have also lost a child. HELEN DAVIS Logansport, Ind. Loftus’s interesting article may leave readers with the impression that most allegations of abuse are inculcated by manipulative therapists. My daughter, who has Down syndrome, was molested for four years by her father, my exhusband.
The second moment in my life where I faced difficulty- was in my marriage. It was a tough time in my life because I would come home from work and find myself arguing with my sister in law. I felt that she was interfering in my marriage. I also had many arguments with my husband. I ended up leaving my husband even though it was three weeks after giving birth to my daughter.
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.
