Spousal rape

Introduction I have always found the argument of rape culture to be one of great relevance, and importance. As a student avid in speaking out against rape and rape culture, I think it is incredibly important to educate not only myself, but others around me on what and how rape culture and its dangerous behaviors play an effect in day to day life. While it is true that rape culture and its effects are prevalent all over the continent, there is a specific form of rape culture that takes place…

The Residential School era was a dark time in Canadian as well as Indigenous history and is a topic that is still “swept under the rug” today. During this gloomy time Indigenous children were forcible taken from their communities and sent to Residential Schools in efforts to “civilize” Canadian society (Zalcman, 2016, pg.76). In these horrific efforts to cultivate Canada, children were made to look like an “average” Canadian. Their hair was cut to how the Government saw fit and they were given…

Alcohol and Sexual Assault Prevention: In today’s society many people have different outlooks on risk behaviors for sexual assault.

In Mark Thompson’s article, “Military Sexual Assault Victims Discharged After Filing Complaints,” he makes the point that victims in the military of sexual assault are getting discharged a couple of months after they file a complaint. Thompson gives an example of this in the beginning of the article when he talks about a woman named Emily Vorland. She was discharged from the Army after being sexually harassed after filing a complaint while she was deployed in Iraq. Vorland was discharged…

forget about the consent. Frankly, sex without consent is both unenjoyable, and a crime punishable by law. Any rape victim can attest that intercourse is not enjoyable if it is unwelcomed. For example, I love a good cheese burger, but I do not want one shoved in my…

Rape can be a form of socio- culture since the action itself has developed its own social norms and rules. The players involved have their own traditions, habits, beliefs and rules. When discussing the “rules” of rape culture it stated to be that “the incidence of rape varies cross-culturally; second, a high incidence of rape is embedded in a distinguishably different cultural configuration than a low incidence of rape.” (Sandy 1 1981).

#5 The U.S. Constitution assumes that it is protecting all individuals through its legislative, which historically has not been true. The legal system wants equality between both sexes, yet uses the difference between men and women to produce unequal results for the latter. The legal system doesn’t recognize these biological differences and how the law affects men and women in different ways due to their gender. In Christine Littleton’s article titled, “Reconstructing Sexual Equality”(1987),…

There are steadily increasing crime rates and violence spreading throughout the country. Serial killers have been the center of it all by taking other innocent lives in their own hands. Psychologically there’s always a motivation behind every action. Rejection, physical and sexual abuse motivates a serial killer to kill. The fact of slaughtering a human being is an addiction to them, it’s like their drug that they can’t leave or stop using. As I further my research and findings of serial killers…

The National Institute of Corrections due to changing of times is working with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, and Intersex populations (Leach, 2008). While LGBTI is an evolving community outside of the prison setting, the prison setting now has evolved including a greater population of LGBTI offenders.
