    The book “Until Proven Innocent” by Stuart Taylor Jr. and KC Johnson is a book littered with details about the egregious and controversial case involving Duke University’s lacrosse team and two hired strippers. One of them, in particular, getting a lot of attention: Crystal Gail Mangum an African-American exotic dancer. The media did everything to cover the story, but it all prompted into a chain of terrible events that eventually morphed into an authentic ordeal. I will argue that there were several flaws from the media covering the Duke lacrosse rape case, such flaws proved to affect public opinion because of factual errors and misusage of appropriate language. But if journalists would have stuck to the SPJ (Society of Professional Journalists)…

    Pabst surprises many co-workers by dropping out of her tenured position, and deciding to create her own firm (Krakauer 348). In her separation from the MCAO while it was undergoing a fight with and an investigation from the Department of Justice, Pabst tries to distance herself from the negative aspects of the fight. This can be explained by the social identity concept of “individual mobility,” where a person may distance him or herself from a group in order to achieve a separation from the beliefs of that group, and join a group with superior status (Tajfel & Turner 1985). In fact, under Pabst’s role in MCAO, the rates of prosecutions in Missoula of reported sexual assaults at 12.2% was even lower than the already-low national average at 18%, which was one of the details that prompted the DOJ investigation (Patterson & Campbell 2010). In the DOJ’s claim that under her supervision some of the sexual-assault cases were handled poorly, Pabst openly denies that this “would not have been tolerated” and hinted that it was most likely Van Valkenburg’s refusal to cooperate (Haake 2014).…

    “In No Turning Back” Estelle Freedman mostly gives international examples of the threat or action of rape to terrorize women. Despite a lack of examples from America in her article, the threat and actin of rape to control a woman’s behavior is existent on a daily basis in this country. One example that comes to mind is in marriage. For example, if a man and a woman are married, and the woman is a stay at home man, who depends on her husband as the only source of income, the threat of rape might be present in the relationship. If the husband wants to have sex with his wife, but she doesn’t want to, he might force her into it even if she doesn’t want to because of the fact that without that husband she would have no source of income.…

    Rape in prison is not a secret and sadly is not being addressed as well as it should be. In 2003 US Congress passed the Prison Rape Elimination Act or PREA, which led to the establishment of the National Rape Elimination Commission and the introduction of a zero tolerance policy towards sexual violence in prisons. Before PREA, the head of the American State Correctional Association claimed: “sexual assault in prison is greatly exaggerated.” The zero tolerance policy included having prisoners screened if they were a potential predator or victim, investigations would take place if correctional officers were told about sexual abuse, and whether it be a prisoner or guard committing the act both would be punished effectively. Data from 2013 revealed that 4 per cent of prisoner had experienced sexual victimization and 2 per cent of prisoners had been a victim of a non-consensual sexual act with another prisoner or staff member.…

The documentaries exposes what it calls “essentially an epidemic of sexual harassment and violence in the agricultural sector”, but none of the perpetrators accused in those cases have been tried in criminal court. Victims across the country have won tens of millions of dollars in back wages and damages for farm worker, but no considerable steps have been taken to stop the rape in the fields. Bill Tamayo regional attorney with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission proposes that the power to silence the marginalize victims leads of conditions that allow sexual assault to happen, "The supervisor determines who gets hired, who gets promoted, who gets fired. And if you 're a sexual predator, that 's the ideal position to be in because you can determine whether her family eats or not,"-Bill Tamayo.…
