Rape Crisis Center
The Rape Crisis Center
The Rape Crisis Center was founded in 1975 to provide comprehensive services to sexual assault victims and their families. The center wanted to assure that these victims have the information, resources, services, and most importantly the people to help them get through this troublesome time. Many people deal with rape differently. Some common survivor reactions are depression, flashbacks, fear, avoidance, and more commonly guilt. Not everyone reacts in the same way, so there is no right or wrong way to feel afterwards. The Rape Crisis Center can help a victim through this time, and provide them with the resources to learn to help themselves. The Center is a non-profit organization funded by federal, state and local agencies, as well as from individuals and community businesses.
We hear all the time on different television programs that convicted rapist, are routinely committing rapes, being convicted and sent to prison, only to parole, get out and commit more rapes. It appears to be an endless cycle of horror for children, woman, and men alike that have either been a victim or who will become a victim of this horrific and demoralizing crime. California is sending many of their convicted rapists to secure hospital facilities for an indefinite amount of time, after their release from prison. If I had rule over this land I would give the jury two options if they find someone guilty (beyond a reasonable doubt) of rape. One reason would be life in prison without the possibility of parole (lwop), and the other would be a sentence of death carried out either in public or over national television. I would hope this would make someone think twice before committing such a demoralizing act on anyone.
