The Defintion of Rape Redefined

The definition of rape established in 1927 was "women's physical knowledge, to force her will" (Basu, 2012). It has been like this for 8 or 5 years. On January 6, 2012, the definition of rape was extended to include men as victims. Rape is defined as "no matter how few invading parts of the body or objects into the vagina or the anus, or intrusion into the oral cavity by other genital organs without victim consent" (Basu, 2012). Usually, when you hear the word rape, you automatically think about male criminals and women's victims, but men are also victims.

The history of research on rape is an attempt to redefine rape as something other than crime, either as a need for a medical or political solution or as a natural consequence of male sexuality. . It must be punished. This prejudice is almost certain because it is very important that you do not want to acknowledge the suffering of women's victims and it is worth punishing male victims. Supporters of victims often do not emphasize criminal solutions and fear that they can not understand the concerns of the criminal justice system. Even if punishment joins the discussion, it is often seen as a means of justice for individual victims, not as a means to prevent future crimes. All investigations made so far show that this is a mistake. Even if the criminal justice system can resist change, if we want to eliminate rape, our efforts have to be done here.

In the 1970s, the first rape crisis center was founded. Treatment of victims in the criminal justice system was questioned and hundreds of legislation passed by the court to protect the rape victims. Medical programs have been developed and widely accepted. The effects of rape on mental health are detailed in the literature, and the work of mental health professionals has been improved. It is difficult to accurately measure rape and other types of sexual assault. Determining the extent and nature of rape and other types of sexual asses depends on how these crimes are defined and measured. It is worth noting that statistics are taken from various sources and use different approaches to gather information.
