Rape awareness and prevention training

Abstract

Abstract : The incidents of rape have reached epidemic proportions in the United States. The U.S. Department of Justice reports that a woman in the United States is 20 times more likely to be raped than in Japan; 13 times higher than Great Britain; and 4 times higher than Germany. It is estimated that a woman is raped every 6 minutes and young males, ages 12-16, are becoming the fastest growing population to become victims of sexual assault. In response to this growing national epidemic, the Commanding Officer of the Naval Training Systems Center requested a study to assess the parameters and dynamics involved in rape prevention and awareness training. Through education the number of rapes can be reduced. Rape prevention and awareness training increases the male's sensitivity to the issues of rape, their understanding of the role they play in society, and what can be done to stop the crime.
