Question 2- Sexual Violence
Explain the difference between a standard sexual assault case and date rape.
Choose two of the nine different types of rapists that exist and compare and contrast their motives and common behaviors.
How do sexually violent crimes impact their victims?
Sexual Violence
It is any sexual actobtained by violence or coercion, acts to traffic a person or acts directed against a person's sexuality, regardless of the relationship to the victim(either a relative or not). It occurs in times of peace and armed conflict situations, is widespread and is considered to be one of the most traumatic, pervasive, and most common human rights violations.
Standard sexual assault case- the term sexual assault describes a range of criminal acts that are sexual in nature, from unwanted touching, to rubbing, groping, to kissing or forcing the victim to touch the perpetrator in sexual ways. But sexual assault overlaps with rape because the term includes rape.
Date rape-Date rape is when one person forces another person to have sex. It, too, is a offense. The difference between sexual assault and date rape is that the victim knows the attacker socially. Perhaps he or she even went out with his or her attacker more than once.
Retaliatory rapist: This rapist is angry at the world - and often, at a particular woman in general. A perceived wrong ignites an attack, usually within 24 hours.
this rapist acts on impulse, often using debilitating force. Once his rage is spent, he may never rape again or at least not until stresses crescendo to another eruption.
*Erotic-aggression rapist: This most rare of rapes accounts for only 10 percent of sexual assaults, yet often makes news because of its sensationalism.
The rapist uses either ritualism - bondage, spanking and the like - or sadism. His victims are vulnerable women whom he can control.
This type of rapist is aroused by his victims' sufferings, particularly if they struggle to escape, even they sometimes kill them.
