Blog 3



Due February 24, 2013 by 11:59 pm

This is the third week you have a blog assignment. The blog assignment is on sexual assault/rape. Answer the following:

  1. Go to: 
    1. http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/table-5
    2. Report the population and the incidents reported for rape in your state.
  2. Go to:
    1. http://www.rainn.org/public-policy/laws-in-your-state
    2. Report what your state says about statute of limitations. (If it is not listed here, do a Google search.)
  1. Go to:
    1. Find your state’s laws regarding rape. (A Google search should suffice.)
    2. Summarize it like you did for IPV
      1. Make sure you find the definition
        1. What terminology is used (sexual assault/rape/aggravated….)
        2. What it includes (age, type, etc.)
        3. Different types
        4. What constitutes rape
  1. I would like you to find at least one article/news story from your state. (You can find your state by logging on to webcourses.) Give an overview of this case (including outcomes/convictions) and information regarding the victim and offender.
  2. Media aspect
    1. A lot of Public Service Announcements, songs, movies, documents, books, etc. have been created concerning sexual assault.
      1. find two media documentations (this does not need to come from your state) and should not include manuals.
        1. Tell us what they are (including links)…this means give some information about it, not just the links.
      2. Are they accurate? Is the representation of rape and/or sexual assault correct?
