On the heels of the much publicized Richmond High School (CA) gang rape of a 15 year old, I found this article on gang rape psychology. It helped me to begin to understand such heinous behavior. Article link here.James C. Collier

I read the articles, very useful.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Jewish/Christian religion includes rape as one of the 10 Commandments and the Muslin religion rejects virgins as a reward for martyrs, then maybe "women [will be] viewed as equals worthy of respect.
ReplyDeleteYes, Anonymous, because gang rapists are almost always devout religious followers. If only someone had told them that rape is wrong!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't read the article but if it says those things then it's just a typical batch of feminazi lies. The same people who go around campus terrorizing men with the utterly bogus "1 in 4" statistic, and whining about an imaginary "rape culture".
ReplyDeleteThe vast majority of rape is committed by the same people who commit the vast majority of all crime - young, uneducated black and to a lesser extent latino males, raised by single mothers. And in every case, these young men absolutely know that what they're doing is wrong and they just don't care. All of these other comically roundabout explanations are just excuses for our hyper-PC society's fear of confronting the real problem.
Anon 2:56, you may be legit, but your numbers are fishy. The DOJ 2007 numbers I looked up do not come anywhere close to the 2005 numbers you quote. I have seen this stuff other places and I am still waiting for proof. If you want to see 2007 look here, (table 42) http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/cvus0702.pdf
ReplyDeleteThe numbers are "fishy"?
ReplyDeleteThey come from the same usdoj.gov site that you linked to!
Anon4:00, More digging and the 2005 numbers you quote are legit. Not sure why 2005 was so high at 33%, while 2004 (8%), 2006 (17%) and 2007 (7%). I think spikes like this fly under the PC radar screen in all directions, unfortunately. Closer look would suggest a good stat-guy and a criminologist.
ReplyDeleteThis is Anon 2:56 again. I went searching and found the same wild fluctuations in the numbers from year to year. 2005 was a huge variation. Some years, eg, there are 0 reports of sex assault by whites on blacks and then in the next year, thousands. How likely is that?
ReplyDeleteFrankly, though the numbers for all crimes suggest that blacks victimize whites at a rate all out of proportion to their share of the demographic, these stats shift so wildly, you don't really know what the literal score is. And with a hot topic like this, I think you need to have very solid numbers.
I read up on the DOJ's method in the Crime Victimization Survey. I assumed, wrongly, it was a compilation of police and court records. Nope. It's a survey of 77000+ households!
There are a few things I feel are worth consideration in regards to an earlier comment on christianity and the fact that rape is not part of the ten commandments. I would definately think that other commandments within the ten would be violated by an act of rape, such as honoring thy mother and thy father.
ReplyDeleteThe bible is exponentially clear on the fact that sex is intended for a man and woman to bond and procreate and is ment only for two people commited to one another. Remember the ten commandments were rules to manage Moses crew and was in no way intended to suggest that anything not in these specific ten commandments is 'not that bad'.
Lastly I hope we remember that religion like everything else can be used as an excuse, taken out of context and misrepresented. It's unfortunate that the behaviour of people who claim to be strongly religious or spiritual seems to have really turned people off taking a closer look.
The high 33% of 2005 (in contrast to the smaller ~16 and ~7 %'s in 2006-2008) is MORE accurate than those smaller percentages.
ReplyDeleteWhy?
Because only the year of 2005 is the one NOT based on fewer than 10 sample cases (see the * note at the bottom of the page of Table 42 in those pdfs).
