The contemporary wave of feminism has created vast social change on how sexual assaults are defined and treated by legal professionals and society. The main goals of feminism are to redefine the patriarchal dogma on the rate, causes and effects of rape (Chasteen, 2001, pp. 102-103). This is largely done by framing rape as a social problem that has historically remained unaddressed by the dominant male discourse. From their perspective, it is the most extreme expression of male power and gender inequality (Chasteen, 2001, p. 106). As such, rape is redefined as a crime against women that is a direct and almost absolute consequence of the male needs for dominance and aggression (Chasteen, 2001, p. 106).…

Stereotyping victims can lead to guilty offenders getting away. If a woman is a drug user, runaway, exotic dancer, or does other activities that are deemed immoral by society she may not be seen as a worthy victim. Just because a person is involved in these activities does not mean they cannot be raped. Using shortcuts of labeling can negatively affect those who are truly victimized but their past does not allow them to be treated fairly. This is not how justice should work, but people should be treated equal before the eyes of the law.…

Crime is a major problem in the United State and many argues over crime statistics in our neighborhoods and country. For many years, citizens have questioned the importance of the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR). One particular problem with the UCR is that several victims of crimes do not contact or fellow up with police to make an official report. “The statistics collected in the Uniform Crime Reports entail crimes that have actually been reported to the police. Since submission of such data is voluntary, how can the Uniform Crime Reports be accurate?…

Innocent according to a dictionary definition means not being guilty of a crime or offense. The word innocent today is applied only to someone who is suspected of being involved in a crime or suspicious activity. My view of what innocent means is far less associated with crime and more towards a young child. Children have an innocence about them that you can only find when they’re young that makes them say and do anything because they’re too young to fully understand what their actions means or become affected by the world around them because their parents shield and protect them from anything or anyone that could potentially change their view of the world at a young age. A person can remain innocent for as long as they choose to be unaffected…
