Rape is a sexual crime, impulsively committed by a man for sexual gratification. Rape is a crime of violence and aggression. Its intent is to overpower, degrade, and humiliate the victim. Women provoke rape by how they behave, dress, or where they choose to go. Rape is the victim's fault.
Rape is never the victim's fault.
If a woman wants to be involved sexually with a man, it would not be necessary for him to use force or threats of physical violence. Research shows that rapists look for available women they perceive as vulnerable. Women report rapes to get even with men or to protect their reputations. According to the FBI, fewer than 2 percent of reports of rapes are false, which is the same percentage for the false reporting of other crimes. In fact, anywhere from 50 to 90 percent of all rapes are not reported to the police.
