The Deviant Sexual Behavior and Child Molestation

The Effects of Alcohol in Contribution to the Blame of Rape One of the famous excuses of why the rape was done is that they were under the influence of alcohol. The male offender was attributed less and the situation was attributed more responsibility when the offender was drunk than when he was sober. In addition, participants derogated the female victim's character and assigned her greater responsibility when she was drunk than when she was sober. Sexual perpetrators usually consume alcohol before they rape a person. There was a study that freshmen college students are raped due to alcohol consuming. There were 59% female incoming college freshmen who reported on the last 3 months of their senior year of high school. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses for general aggression reveal that heavy alcohol consumption at the time of the aggression and strong alcohol-related aggression expectancies were associated with more frequent social and emotional consequences. For male respondents, the victim's intoxication had no effect on the blame attributed to them. Female respondents attributed more blame to a drunken victim in a provoked male to male assault but not in the unprovoked scenario. When it came to understanding factors that determined the general attribution of blame, they found surprisingly few significant variables. In marriages there have been incidents were the husband is drunk and abuses of his wife. This is a story about a woman that got raped when she was under the alcohol effects. “In 1992, while I was an undergraduate, I was raped by a fellow student while we were both drunk. He was not a date. I didn't even like him when we were sober. But we were at a party together, a party at which I tried too hard to "keep up" with my friends in the alcohol department and wound up far more drunk than I wanted to be. So I went back to my room. And he followed me. And then he raped me.” by

    Rape is a crime that is not regularly reported in the United States and out of the 14 to 25 percent of women who are raped; only one tenth to a half of those actually reports the incident to law enforcement. That apprehensiveness in reporting rape can be accredited to some rape myths existing in the United States and those who agree with those myths are more apt to not believe the victim and place the responsibility of the attack on the victim instead of the perpetrator.…

    Because Popular culture depicts a “typical” rape as being perpetrated by “sick” or crazy men where the rape is a “sudden, violent attack by a stranger in a deserted, public space, after which the victim is expected to provide evidence of the attach and of her active resistance” (Williams, 1984). This stereotype script frames rapists as strangers and the literature refers to such a description as the “classic” rape scenario (Williams, 1994).…

    Recent reports have proven that 90% of all reported campus rapes occur when alcohol is being used by either the assailant or the victim (Hansen 1). Although people believe that college students can be in the wrong place at the wrong time, tragedies can be prevented by knowledge of college crime rates and by taking higher security precautions.

    Teresita went to a fraternity party because she'd heard that this fraternity "really knew how to have fun" and she really needed fun after a disastrous academic week. She knew that some women had been taken advantage of at previous parties, but she put that out of her mind, as she downed one drink after another. Just when things were getting dull, the coolest guy on campus took her by the hand, led her upstairs and talked her into having sex. The next day, Teresita noticed that her vagina was bruised and bleeding. She barely recalled having sex, but knew who was responsible for her condition, and filed rape charges against him with the campus administrator.…

    Our text book discusses four elements that link to a person’s sexual behavior. The four elements are fantasy, symbolism, ritualism and compulsion. The first element discussed in our text book is fantasy. The textbook says that “It is impossible to be sexual without some form of fantasy” (Holmes & Holmes, 2009). When a person gets to live out their sexual fantasies that is what makes the sexual act more intense. In order to have a sexual fantasy, one must be sexual. A person must have a fantasy in order to be sexually involved with another person or even with themselves. When a person has a sexual fantasy, it seems to enhance the intercourse. There are many types of fantasies that range from what one would call normal all the way up to what some might call completely bizarre. Unfortunetly, a lot of people watch “porn” in order to fulfill a fantasy. They fantasize while watching the movie or clip that it is a girlfriend, boyfriend, or even someone that they wish they could have. By fantasizing while watching, they are “pleasuring themselves”.…

    From my own research, I was able to get a clear understanding of the percentage of students who admitted to getting involved in risky behavior. About 49 % student’s males and females admitted that once or twice they got involved in risky behavior due to excessive alcohol. In a sample survey of 1,472 first year college students’ males, 75 % of college students admitted that they drank before the sexual incident. Most of the time binge drinking leads to sexual assault, and alcohol- related assaults are much more severe than those that did not involve alcohol. Furthermore, about forty-seven percent of college undergraduate students who were raped or sexually assaulted thought their attacker was under excessive alcohol. Even from my own research, about 20 percent of the students admitted that they were sexually taken advantage of while under the influence of alcohol. However, on the same exact research, about 97.7 % of the students admitted that they have never sexually taken advantage of someone else while they were under the influence of…

    Many victims do not go to the authorities because they have the fear of not being believed or feel that they deserved it. Studies show that 50 percent of college women have been sexually assaulted, and 27 percent have experienced rape or attempted rape. In the magazine article by Laura Stepp she tells a girl named Alice’s story. In her story one of her friends she trusted escorted her to a party. They both consumed quite a bit of alcohol, and when she was brought back to his apartment she was raped. After this happened she was haunted by that night, and the question she would has her self was: was it rape? In Paglia’s short essay she states, “A girls who lets herself get dead drunk at a fraternity party is a fool.” I agree with this statement because I believe women need to be more aware of the dangers parties can have. At least one half of violent crimes involve alcohol consumption. Alcohol can be very dangerous when someone drinks excessive amounts, and can lead to making bad decisions.…

    The influence of alcohol can affect an individual’s control over thoughts, emotions and actions. Excessive amount of alcohol could cause one to lose control mentally and physically when provoked which would result in fights occurring as an act of impulse. Ward (2008) reports that “half of young people said they had been involved in fighting, violence and aggression as a result of drinking”. Some may feel that fights occur due to personality issues rather than the influence of excessive alcohol consumption. From this report, it can be argued that personality does play a huge role in fights happening but being drunk would increase the number of youth violence occurring.…
