Sexual Assault In Mexico

One thing that struck me while watching this documentar,y was the way that the New York media sought out the information and relayed it back to the public. They created a humungous turmoil against the five teenage boys, who they claimed were out “wilding” running in a “wolf pack” after their “predators”. Mayor Koch stated, “this will be a test of the system”, regarding for the death penalty. The public wanted to see how the system would handle such barbaric acts and whether or not they will give them the death penalty for such “crimes”. Even multi-millionaire Donald Trump wrote a full-page ad in the frontlines, with the headline, “Bring Back the Death Penalty, Bring Back Our Police.” This sparked my attention as to what pandemonium was going on in the city during that time. The amount of discrimination and social tension between classes frustrated me, as I thought, well did the system go under a Due Process

Sexual assault always has and always will be a serious problem in society. Despite the fact that, according to sources like the RAINN organization, the amount of reported sexual assault cases in the United States has dropped by more than half since 1993, sexual assault itself remains a problem in the United States. Just very recently, eight women have now come forward and accused longtime news anchor Charlie Rose of sexual misconduct in the workplace. This latest incident is one of many that have been reported within the recent months against those of a high socioeconomic standing in society, entertainers and politicians who abused their positions of power in order to harass and harm their female colleagues. These victims waited until now to report these incidents due to the fear that they will not be believed and that justice will not be delivered against those in such powerful positions. They only now come forward due to the unity they have found in each other against these abusers. To understand the uncertainty these women faced in their decision, this issue must be looked upon sociologically, using each of the three sociological perspectives of functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism to overview the various factors like race, gender, and social class that played a part in delaying their decision and explain why and how the justice system has failed in this way.

Reading these reports have disrupted my thought process; insofar, flashes of my daughter, sisters and all the females in my life, cannot imagine them ever being gang raped. By the way, wouldn’t this entire ordeal caused psychological trauma? There is no question whether the event happen, but the result of the rape created a major uproar and lives were ended. Mrs. Floyd was certainly traumatized, she reported to the police being raped thirteen times as if thirteen men actually raped her, then she only identified seven men. Please help me clarify this report. It was dark, and in a state of trauma she reported being raped thirteen times by thirteen men. How can she recall being raped that much time while in a state of shock, then to top it off, she identified only seven men who alleged raped her in the dark? But it was dark! Was she wearing night vision goggles? And how could she remember the faces in the dark while in a traumatized condition? There are still missing information and numerous unanswered questions were ignored. Eventually, those seven men receive the death penalty via the electric chair.

Start blaming the system, not the victim. Sexual assault is a crime that is very common, yet the punishment perpetrators receive is not as harsh as it needs to be to reduce the occurrence of these crimes. Laws concerning sexual crimes have been edited over decades to be stricter however, sex offenders typically receive little or no punishment. Sexual Assault is defined as any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient (“Sexual Assault”). Victims of sexual assault are often blamed as the reason for the crime being committed while the blame is taken away from the offender. Harsher punishment must be enacted on sex offenders because the victims suffer conflict from the crime throughout their

Sexual Assault described in technical terms is defined as any sort of sexual activity between two or more people in which one of the people involved is involved against his or her will. (3) The description of "against his or her will" extends to varying degrees of aggression, ranging from indirect pressure to a direct physical attack. According to the Crime Victim Research and Treatment Center 1.3 adult women are sexually assaulted in the United States every minute. (1) Of these assaults 84% of the attacks occur by someone the victim knows. The Senate Judiciary Committee the United States sighted the United States as having the highest rate of sexual assaults per capita in the

University of Tennessee Knoxville was recently involved in a lawsuit for enabling athletes to sexually assault women by silencing the victims and failing to provide disciplinary actions or even investigation onto the accused. While this is a recent case, this is not the first time this sort of behavior involving a school has been brought into light. One in four women will be sexually assaulted by the end of their undergraduate career (Posluszny). Sexual assault happens throughout society no matter what the gender or age, seeming to be in increasing epidemic over the last few years. While the idea of sexual assault is largely met with public hostility in theory, actions often contradict this. This contradiction lies heavily in a culture that is unwelcoming to the victims and often leads to the perpetrators being tolerated. The existence of rape culture in western society occurs due to the preservation of violent media, patriarchal standards, and the state of the criminal justice system. This culture cannot be improved until we confront each of these problems to their roots.

The reality of what was promised then becomes clear. A better life has turned into a life of abuse and isolation. According to the FBI “these women and young girls are sold to traffickers, locked up in rooms or brothels for weeks to months, drugged, terrorized, and raped repeatedly”

In the United States every two minutes there is someone that is sexually assaulted. In the state of Texas, every 2 in 5 women and every 1 in 5 men have been sexually assaulted. According to TAASA.org, it is reported that “6.3 million Texans have experienced some form of sexual assault in their lifetime.” In 2011, Senate Bill 1636 was passed in Texas where it was required for rape kits to be sent to labs within 30 days. Before Senate Bill 1636, there was no law in the state of Texas that required kits to to be tested within a certain time frame. When bill 1636 was passed it was also required that there be a count on the backlog of rape kits, and it was found that there were 20,000 kits that had not been tested. After seeing that there was a

The crime is not in what they did do, but rather what they failed to do. Although they had no hand in the abuse, these women are being tried and convicted for failing to notify the police of the abuse that was occurring. Over twenty five states have specific failure-to-protect laws and nineteen others have more general laws by which a parent can be tried for negligence of a child. For one to be liable for failure to protect, the defendant must have a legal duty to protect the child, the defendant must have notice of abuse, the child was exposed to the abuse, and the defendant failed to prevent said abuse (United States vs Webb). These laws in their conception were gender neutral however in their application, are far from it. Research has shown that women are tried far more than men for failing to protect their children and in many cases, the women themselves are being abused (Apell 1997). While women are tried more, they solely perpetuate about 38% of the child abuse in the country (NIS 4). Although those that commit child abuse, are criminals, there is a problem in criminalizing parents that along with their children were victims of

Sexual assault policy in the United States as it stands is clearly inadequate for protecting the physical wellbeing of men and women from sexual assault. Layering of policy serves a s a Band-Aid on a social wound much too large to be contained and the rise of sexual assault as a public problem reiterates the need for greater legislation and policy to protect everyone from becoming prey to the crime of sexual assault. While eyes focus on the (disproven) rise of violence in the United States, and turn to gun control, other violent crimes are forgotten. Sexual Assault has seen several cases of policy failure that actors have tried to salvage through the act of policy layering and have not significantly resolved the problem.

Anything from unwanted touching in a sexual manner to non-consensual sexual intercourse is classified as sexual assault in Canada. Male survivors of sexual assault frequently face unsympathetic attitudes after choosing to report the criminal offence. Unfortunately, despite the similar chances of sexual assault amongst both males and females during their teenage years, with 20% for males and 25% for females, there are fewer researches conducted on male sexual assault in Canada (Statistics Canada 2015). A large proportion (16%) of male victims are sexually assaulted in an institutional setting, which is over two and a half times greater than the percentage of females in the same location (Brennan 2008). The UCR2 (Uniform Crime Reporting Survey)

I am outraged, by the fact that Karla had to experience sexual abuse for eleven years. I experience a mix of feelings as I learned that at age 5 she was raped and that at age 12 her life became worst as she was forced to let herself be raped 30 or more times a day. It was clear in the beginning that she wanted the readers to keep the number 43,000 in mind because that’s the number of times she cried for help in four years. however, what outraged me the most was the fact that Mexico’s authorities took advantage of Karla and the other victims of sex trafficking instead of rescuing them. as authorities their responsibility was to do the right thing and save them instead of using them for their disgusting “evil necessities.” We desperately need

The poverty and abuse with no relent that many of these women go through is shocking and eye opening.
