Victim Blaming

According to the Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime, dupe blaming can be defined as a devaluing act that occurs when the victim(s) of a discourtesy or an accident is held responsible in whole or in part for the crimes that have been committed against them. It can appear in forms of negative social response from authoritative organizations (lawyers, police, etc. ) or from the victims social circle (friends, family, school, etc. ) towards the crime that has occurred. In our case, the crime that has occurred-or, more accurately, might occur-is rape.The exam question subtextually sends this message If you do non want to be raped, do non behave this way. If you do non behave this way, rape will not happen. If we want to stop rape, should we not, instead, inform rapists about the wrongness of nonconsensual sex (sexual intercourse while under the see of alcohol does NOT count as consensual sex, explained in the undermentioned paragraph)? If we keep telling our women to cover up and avoid trouble, we be making no attempt to stop the assaulter. We cannot ever tell women to phlebotomise away when we are making no, or little, attempt to educate the men.We constantly give conditions to rape if she was drunk, walking around alone at night, eroding clothing deemed provocative, etc. then it is not rape. In round cases, the victim is in a drunken state and therefore is futile to give proper consent. This is when they are taken advantage of and are raped. However, when someone is drunk they are unaware of their surroundings and therefore unaware of their actions. We cannot clean someone for getting raped while drunk. I agree that they should not get drunk in the first place, but they are not responsible for another individuals actions.
