Well, I thought long and hard about putting this on my blog page.
This is just a small portion of all the writing I have done on this subject and there is a possibility that I may start a separate blog to bring this issue out into the public arena, not that anyone really cares anymore about rape, if they really ever did.
The attitude of society is one of 'well she (or he) must have deserved it' is along established one, and given that rape is used daily as a means of control and manipulation by individuals, groups and governments worldwide, this is very unlikely to change.

New light does need to be shed on this matter. Especially when children are involved.
I have very strong feelings towards this crime.
Punishment should be a hell of a lot more severe on the offenders.
To be honest, what I have come to suspect is that they don't really want to solve these types of crime. It is a crime which covers all classes, it is not just a crime of the 'shallow end of the gene pool' but it is one that those who are in positions of authority or power also commit. No wonder they want to lower the penalties, just looking after their mates!
Yes, this is a topic that deserves further exploration. Besides for murder, I think rape is the most cruel of crimes becasue not only is the individual physically crippled/violated, she/he is emotionally broken for their entire life. I've had friends experience this horrible ordeal and realy struggle to come to grips with their experiences...
It changes everything. From their relationships with their family and friends, their ability to socialise, to trust figures like the police and law enforcement of judiciary figures and support agancies, if they are lucky enough to find any!
