The Significant Role Of Rape Victims In The 1970s

Amid the 1970s, rape victims were not considered significant, and it required some severe energy before a rape victim could be helped. The individuals who investigated rape cases went all around in investigating a rape case which would even influence the victims to abandon following up on their claims. Today, in any case, rape victims are afforded the essential aid, and rape or sexual assault is taken with a considerable measure of weight as with every other crime.
In the 1970s, it was assumed that a man could not rape his significant other. At the point when such an occurrence happened, it was dealt not as rape but as more so as the wife being submissive. Today, however, any shape or form of forced sex is dealt with as rape (Merlo and Pollock, 2014). If a spouse forces his significant other to have intercourse unwillingly and continues, this is rape and punishable by law.
Nobody wanted to be a witness in rape cases even the doctors who analyzed the victims. Today, in any case, any individual who gets involved with a rape case must give their testimonies in court to provide the genuinely necessary assistance to rape victims and enable them to corroborate their claims in court. For example, the doctor or medical examiners who looks at the victims out of the blue in the wake of being raped must give their testimonies on how the victims were the point at which they initially went to them.
