Consensus and Conflict Theory Approaches to Combat Sexual...

Sexual Assault The impact of sexual assault and rape is devastating to our community and culture. This terrible crime has been around for longer than records have been kept. Throughout world history, the primary targets of these crimes have been women but not exclusively limited to women. Sexual related crimes are crimes of power rather than crimes of passion or lust. These are crimes of ignorance that continue because it is tolerated by both man and society. First, we as a society have to continue to bring attention this on-going problem.

If women are taught some simple precautionary steps, they can greatly reduce the chances of becoming a victim. Walking briskly, looking alert and confident are simple things that can be done to cause a sexual predator to reconsider a person as a victim (Hanson, 1993).

If a woman suspects she is being followed, she should move fast and towards a group, crowded area or to a local safe area. When in a vehicle or at home, keep doors and windows closed and locked at all times (Anonymous, 1999). Before driving from one location to another, women should make contact with a family member or friend to let them know when they leave and when they arrive (Anonymous, 1999). Women should also be encouraged to take a self defense course (Golding, 1997). It all comes down to educating women on all the aspect and dangers of potential sexual violence (Golding, 1997). Educating women is only part of the battle conflict theorists have against sexual violence (Sociology Guide.com, 2011).
