Research Paper On Uber Rape

But California isn’t the only state that is experiencing fallout from the shortcomings of the Uber driver background check process. A woman in Dallas, Texas was raped by an Uber driver last moth, who had an extensive criminal background.

Currently there’s news which is creating a question in the public’s mind that is this the correct thing done by Uber, a rideshare app producing company, which passed a strange order that any passenger or driver should not be carrying any firearm into the vehicle while they are on drive and if in case they see any violation there would be serious action and they would not be allowed to access the Uber’s services anymore. Are you wondering is Uber safe for drivers and how to use it safely? If yes then this is the place where you can find the answer for this question:

Nothing drives emotions out the window more than hearing about innocent children being used for sex. In Cambodia, sex trafficking has grown into a troublesome issue. Sex trafficking has become one of the fastest growing crimes occurring internationally. It is the third largest crime-business in the world, after drugs and arms trafficking. Women, girls, and even men and boys are victims of the billion-dollar sex trafficking industry. Sex trafficking occurs everywhere, and it is not culturally specific, but a gender specific issue. There are numerous cases of sex trafficking within Cambodia, however child sex trafficking is extremely captivating and distressing to learn about.

Cleveland, Ohio is a diverse city, and to prove that they are as diverse as they say, Cleveland decided to host the Gay Games and the Republican National Convention (RNC). The question to be asked is: why did Cleveland bid for both the Gay Games and the RNC? Perhaps Cleveland wanted to prove to the world that the community is not horrible like people believe. Although Cleveland has had some heinous crimes, the city as a whole wants to prove that they are not all awful people. Cleveland has more to offer than what the media has portrayed. Cleveland is not filled with gangs and people in poverty. Obviously gangs and poverty is present in Cleveland, but most major cities have people in poverty and gangs; therefore, Cleveland is no different. The predicament is most cities do not gain as much media attention as Cleveland. Within the last two years alone, Cleveland has made major headlines (in a negative perspective), but now Cleveland wants to make headlines in a more positive manner. Hosting the Gay Games and the RNC, Cleveland is moving in the right direction.

Today’s society is full of insane and demented human beings who don’t seem to know right from wrong. A lot of people suffer because of this, especially college students. Simple assault, abduction, and rape are three crimes that have been on the rise throughout college campuses all over the United States. From 2008 to 2012 forcible rape increased by forty-nine percent in four-year colleges. It jumped from 2,370 to 3,621 in a matter of four years (Shapiro). We as individuals have the ability to help keep ourselves safe from these kinds of people. We are provided with a variety of resources and information including forms of personal protection, body strength, and safety in numbers. The problem is we are not utilizing these to the best of our ability. I know we all think that we are invincible and nothing terrible could happen to us, but the reality is, it can.

The documentary, Rape in the Fields, explores the experiences of women farm workers who are either documented or undocumented immigrants. Unfortunately, many of the men that these women work with take advantage of that fact by using it as a threat in order for them to commit sexual assault towards these women. The issues of “unwelcome” and “involuntary” actions, power and powerless, vulnerability, and receiving help for these women are all portrayed within this documentary. As defined in the presentation, “sexual conduct is unwelcomed whenever the person subjected to it considers it unwelcome.”

The purpose of this research is to acknowledge the existence of rape in the black community as well as the hypersexualization of African American women in the media. This research will elaborate on the psychological effect of rape, give personal testimonies of victims, and discuss solutions, prevention, as well as a history of the “where, when, and why” of this crime. It will also discuss the effect of rape on men, provide information in regards to the most common places rape occurs/has occurred and also give light on the perspective of men and women when it comes to the issue of sexual assault.

It is said that 88 percent of women sexually assaulted on campus do not report. (Washington Post, Kaiser Family Foundation 2015). Four to five percent of victims report but not to the police, nine to ten percent thought police would not to anything to help, ten to fourteen percent did not want to get the culprit in to trouble, twelve to nineteen percent thought that it wasn’t important enough to turn in, twenty percent were afraid of reprisal, and twenty three to twenty six percent thought it to be a personal matter (RAINN). The percentage of sexual assault claims that turn out to be false range from two to eight percent. When people are focused on those small numbers they forget to keep in mind how majority of the cases that go reported for sexual assault, turn out to be true.Then there are the cases that do get reported, and with these brings along the perpetrators who rarely get serious punishments. The majority of them will not go to jail or prison.

Many people think moderate drinking is perfectly safe. It feels good and, most of the time, a drink or two seems to not cause any obvious, immediate harm. Surely, this is fine? However, this is not necessarily true. It is increasingly becoming clear that even small amounts of alcohol can be harmful.

Statistics could sound more alarming than it actually is, it is not always as bad as it could be. Personally I feel the statistics for forcible rape should be higher than 25 out of 100,000 people. I know from previous classes that rape is underreported, so this could affect this statistic greatly. This statistic seems revelantly low, which is really good thing from the publics point of view. However with the underreporting, this makes it inaccurate and harder to determine the actually amount.

A University of Minnesota student who went public with her fight for justice against the man who raped her has stirred action everywhere from the school president’s office to Washington, where officials pledged to change how campus sexual assault cases are handled.

On page 129 in Principles of Criminal Law, which talks little about sex crimes.

How can we be safe in our home, when some stalks a person, but you don’t know if the person have a gun or

Sexual assault and rape has always been a social and public issue in the United States. A majority of the time, women become the victims, while men become the perpetrators. National surveys in the United States show that one in six women has experienced an attempted or completed rape. Consent appears to be a critical factor in determining whether assault or rape has taken place. Women have a higher chance of being raped by who they are acquainted with rather than strangers.

Sexual assault and rape are on-going issues plaguing college campuses all across the nation. In part, I believe this is due to a lack of education on what sexual assault actually is. All too often, victims are leaving these situations feeling confused about something that they will forever deem "a weird night". It often isn't until much later that they realize what happened to them was a violation of their body and of their rights.
