With this said women do not express the entirety of their thoughts and desires to protect themselves from the ridicule or judgment of men. They

N and her family were categorised as family support and I acted in a supportive capacity role while assessing the needs and risks. I adopted a person centred approach derived from Rodgers (1959) as agreed in supervision. This is in keeping with relationship based social work highlighted by Jowett and Spray (2012) and involved working in partnership alongside N by asking what support she needed (Tosone‚ 2013).

1) I think Jocelyn’s concerns about reporting her rape were completely justified. Unfortunately‚ the possibility of authorities not believing her was quite high‚ especially considering the time that passed between the assault and when she was encouraged to report it and lack of witness and evidence.
