Zusammenfassung:The book critically examines feminist and psychological theory and research on attitudes toward rape. Drawing on a wide range of case studies, survey research, experiments, fieldwork and action-oriented research from Europe, North America and Asia, Colleen Ward combines qualitative and quantitative approaches to understanding sexual violence. Attitudes toward Rape highlights the negative consequences for rape victims of biased and prejudicial perceptions of sexual violence, including those of legal, medical and helping professionals. The impact of these attitudes on victims' self-perceptions is discussed. The book goes on to suggest strategies for changing ideas about sexual assault, including, for example, action-oriented research which is designed to raise consciousness and improve services for victims.
