Victims can be male, female, gay, straight, or bisexual. Regardless of poor communication, mixed signals orbody language that contradicts the spoken word, forced sexual conduct or intercourse with a nonconsentingacquaintance is date rape, and it is a crime.Why Does it Happen?Let’s look at sexual stereotyping and how males and females talk to each other.· Although things are changing, society still frequently encourages men to be competitive andaggressive and teaches women to be passive and avoid confrontation.· Men say they misunderstand a woman’s words and actions—the excuse, “She said no, but meantyes.”· Some people—men and women alike—still believe that it’s okay for a man to demand sex if hetakes a woman out or buys her gifts, and that it’s not rape if he forces sex on a woman whopreviously had sex with him or other men.· Women also feel that if they’ve previously had sex with a boyfriend who later forces them tohave sex against their will, it may not be considered rape.Preventing Date RapeAs a woman, you can· be clear with men in your life about what, if any, sexual behavior you are comfortable with andkeep talking as you get deeper into a relationship.· not use alcohol or other drugs—they decrease your ability to take care of yourself and makesensible decisions.· trust your gut feelings. If a place or the way your date acts makes you nervous or uneasy, leave.Always take enough money for a phone call for help.· check out a first date or blind date with friends. Meet in and go to public places. Take publictransportation or drive your own car.· leave social events with friends not with someone you just met or don’t know well.· always watch your drink and never leave it unattended. Don’t accept beverages from someoneyou don’t know and trust.As a man, you can· realize that forcing a woman to have sex against her will is rape, a violent crime with seriousconsequences.· accept a woman’s decision when she says “no.” Don’t see it as a challenge.· ask yourself how sexual stereotypes affect your attitudes and actions toward women.30
· not use alcohol and other drugs—it clouds your judgment and understanding of what another personwants.· get help if you see men involved in a gang rape.· understand that if a woman is drunk and you have sex with her against her will, it’s still rape.· seek counseling or a support group to help you if you feel violent or aggressive toward women.If Date Rape Happens To You· Remember that rape is rape. You are not to blame. Know that action against the rapist can preventothers from becoming victims.· Get help immediately. Phone the police, a friend, a rape crisis center, a relative. Don’t isolateyourself, don’t feel guilty or ashamed, and don’t try to ignore it. It is a crime that should bereported.· Get medical attention as soon as possible. Do not shower, wash, douche, or change your clothes.Valuable evidence could be destroyed.· Get counseling to help you through the recovery process. Rape is a traumatic experience andtrained counselors can make recovery easier and quicker.· If you think you’ve been sexually assaulted under the influence of a date rape drug, get medicalhelp immediately. Try not to urinate before providing any urine samples. If possible, collect anycontainers from which you drank.Source: National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC): Date Rape at www.ncpc.org.SAFETY AND SECURITY POLICIES AND CRIME STATISTICS REPORTThe ITT Technical Institute issues, on an annual basis, a Safety and Security Policies and Crime StatisticsReport.
