Exploring the perceptions of community members on contributing factors to rape in selected Mankweng CommunitiesMamabolo, Sekwaila Naum January 2022 (has links)
Thesis (M. A. (Criminology and Criminal Justice)) -- University of Limpopo, 2021 / This study was conducted to explore the perceptions of community members on contributing factors of rape in the selected Mankweng communities, namely: Mentz, Ga-Makanye and Ga-Thoka, following a qualitative research approach, with an exploratory research design. The non-probability sampling: Purposive sampling was adopted to sample 30 participants. Three Focus Groups Discussions (FGDs), consisting of 10 individuals formed part of this study and the Thematic Content Analysis (TCA) was used for analysis.
The consulted seminal studies were reviewed and coupled with the Differential Risk Model as the adopted theoretical framework, in order to identify different categories that would explain the contributing factors of rape in the selected study locations. From the studies on this subject and information gathered from the selected participants; four (04) major contributing factors to rape in the Mankweng selected areas emerged, demarcated as follows; 1) Structural factors which include men that are raised in families with strong patriarchal structures which are more likely to become violent and force themselves on women because they feel superior to women, 2) Socio-cultural factors which entail the societies that normalise women being violated and rape because they believe that women are inferior to men and should be submissive, 3) Psychological factors consist of all the effects that both the victims and the community endure due to the crime committed; and lastly, 4) Economic factors explain how women are exposed to chances of being raped because of material gains in exchange for sexual favors.
This study recommends that youth in the selected communities should be trained to become peer educators to learn more about rape, understand the associated effects/ impacts on society and potential victims, and programmes should be hosted within these communities to alert residents about the scourge of rape. The study further recommends that the police officials change their attitudes towards the community members and work with them in preventing rape from occurring.

Secondary victimisation in the court procedures of rape cases : an analysis of four court casesViljoen, Charmell S. 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Violence against women is a serious offence. Emotional and physical abuse can
happen to our daughters, sisters and wives. Rape is a form of violence against
women. It violates a woman's privacy, dignity and it makes her feel as if she has lost
control. The criminal justice system is there to protect the citizens of a country and
this protection should extend to women when they have been violated. The criminal
justice system has different structures, for example the courts, medical services and
police services. The staff of the criminal justice process do not have an inherent duty
to care about rape survivors but they can be trained to treat survivors with
consideration and sympathy to counteract the effects of the rape and secondary
victimization experienced by rape survivors. It is important that there are guidelines
for the staff of the criminal justice system to assist them in rape cases.
This thesis explores whether women experience secondary victimisation during
court proceedings. To assess whether it occurs, court transcripts were analysed with
a focus placed on the background of the court case and the verdicts of the judges.
Findings indicate that secondary victimisation do occur during court cases. Rape
survivors feel as if they are on trial and not the rapist. Survivors furthermore believe
that they will have to live with the label that they had been raped and humiliated.
The thesis recommends that officials of the criminal justice process should receive
extensive training, and looks at the Sexual Offences Court in Wynberg as an
example of an improved system for rape survivors. It is recommended that the
procedures of the Sexual Offences Court should be evaluated on a regular basis to
address secondary victimisation problems that may persist. Communication is very
important during the rape trial. The rape survivor has to be informed about her case
and about the location of the rapist at all times. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Geweld teen vroue is 'n ernstige oortreding wat plaasvind in ons samelewing.
Emosionele en fisiese geweld kan gebeur met ons dogters, vroue en susters.
Hierdie vorm van geweld laat vroue voel asof hulle beheer verloor oor hulle lewens
en dit het ook 'n impak op hul self respek en selfbeeld.
Die Kriminele Sisteem van Suid Afrika is daar om die belange van sy inwoners te
beskerm. Dit het verskillende afdelings byvoorbeeld, die mediese dienste, die polisie
en die hof verrigtinge. Die lede van die Kriminele Sisteem werk met verskillende
individue wat voel dat die hof die uitweg sal wees wat geregtigheid sal laat geskied.
Die lede van die Kriminele Sisteem het nie 'n persoonlike verantwoordelikheid
teenoor die verkragtings oorlewendes nie, maar hulle moet sensitiwiteit en empatie
betoon teenoor die dames wat verkrag was. Die gedrag van die personeel speel 'n
groot rol in terme van hoe die vrou wat verkrag was die aangeleentheid verwerk.
Die fokus van die studie is om te kyk of vroue wel sekondêre viktimisering ervaar
wanneer hulle besluit om voort te gaan met die hofsake. Hof transkripsies was
gebruik om te kyk of vroue wel benadeel word. Daar was gekyk na die uitsprake van
die regters sowel as die agtergrond van die hofsaak.
Daar was bevind dat sekondêre viktimisering wel plaasvind gedurende die hof
verrigtinge. Vroue voel asof hulle verantwoordelik is vir die verkragting wat met hulle
gebeur het. Die verkragter word nie gesien as die persoon wat oortree het nie.
Hierdie gevoelens van self blamering vorm deel van sekondêre viktimisering wat
veroorsaak dat vroue sommige kere voel om nie verder te gaan met die hof saak
nie.
Die verskillende lede van die Kriminele Sisteem moet gedurig opleiding verkry wat
hulle in staat sal stel om die gevoelens van die slagoffers in ag te neem. Die howe
wat spesiaal opgerig is om verkragting sake te verhoor moet geevalueer word sodat
dit 'n sukses kan wees. Kommunikasie moet bevorder word tussen die verskillende departemente en nie -regerings organisasies wat 'n rol speel gedurende die hof
sake.

The power of patriarchy : its manifestation in rapeAckerman, Carla 06 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA) -- Stellenbosch University, 1995. / Includes bibliography / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigates womens' perceptions of social power, as
illustrated by their experiences of rape. In the first chapter
the principles of subjective feminist research are analyzed
against the background of feminist critique on so-called
objective science. This introduction also discusses the feminist
research methodology used in the study.
This is followed by an examination of mainstream political
science's conception of "power". How mainstream political
scientists conceptualise "power", how they define "the exercise
of power". Analyses of the feminist critique against the
mainstream conception of "power" are discussed.
The account of Foucault's ideas on "power" is, to some degree,
a link between mainstream political science's views and feminists
views.
An examination of patriarchy, the three main dichotomies present in our society that determine female/male relations and gendered sexuality follows. It is against the aforementioned background that the literature study moves into a practical research stage. The next chapter
analyses womens' conceptions and experiences of "power"
relations by looking at the feminist theory of rape. This is
followed by an analysis of the research data and a discussion of
the popular rape myths in our society.
A historical overview and analysis of the current rape law is
then given, while the last chapter examines a feminist
alternative conception of "power"relations by re-visiting
"power" and by providing a feminist vision of women-power. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek vrouens se persepsies van sosiale mag soos geïllustreer deur hulle ervarings van verkragting. In die
eerste hoofstuk word die beginsels van subjektiewe feministiese
navorsing geanaliseer teen die agtergrond van die feministiese
kritiek teen sogenaamde objektiewe wetenskap. Dit verskaf 'n
bespreking van die feministiese navorsingsmetodologie wat in die
studie gebruik is.
In die daaropvolgende hoofstuk word hoofstroom politieke
wetenskap se konsepsie van "mag" ondersoek deur te kyk na hoe
hoofstroom politieke wetenskap "mag" konseptualiseer, hoe dit
"die uitoefening van mag" definieer en deur die analise van
feministiese kritiek teen hoofstroom politieke wetenskap se
konsepsie van "mag". Die opsomming van Faucault se idees oor "mag" is in sommige
opsigte 'n skakel tussen hoofstroom politieke wetenskap se
sieninge en die van feministe. 'n Ondersoek na patriargie, die
drie belangrikste tweeledighede ("dichotomies") in ons samelewing wat die verhoudings tussen vrouens en mans bepaal en geslagtelike seksualiteit ("gendered sexuality") volg.
Dit is teen die agtergrond van die voorafgaande dat die
literatuurstudie gevolg word deur 'n praktiese navorsingsfase.
Daar volg'In analise van vrouens se konsepsies en ondervindings
van "magsverhoudinge" deur eerstens na die feministiese teorie
van verkragting te kyk. Hierna volg 'n analise van die
navorsingsdata en In bespreking van populêre verkragtingsmites
in ons samelewing.
In aansluiting by bogenoemde volg 'n historiese oorsig en analise
van die huidige verkragtingswet en vrouens se ervarings daarvan.
Laastens volg 'n feministiese alternatiewe konsepsie van
"magsverhoudinge" deur 'n her-analise van "mag" voor te stel en
deur 'n feministiese visie van vroue-mag ("women-power") te
verskaf.

Understanding the harm of rapeKelland, Lindsay-Ann 19 April 2013 (has links)
The aims of this thesis are twofold: to provide an account of the lived experience of the harm of male-on-female rape in patriarchal societies and, on the basis of this account, to generate suggestions that could be of use in the recovery process for survivors of this type of rape. In order to reach these aims my thesis is divided into three parts. In the first part, I propose a phenomenologically based account of women’s situation as a group under patriarchy, according to which women as a group are subjugated to the hegemonic rule of patriarchal ideology. I argue, further, that the meaning, place and pervasiveness of sexual objectification in the lives of women under patriarchy typically results in women’s alienation from their bodies and creates an atmosphere of threat under which women qua women are especially vulnerable to rape. In the second part, I explore the lived experience of the harm of rape; focusing, first, on the reflexive process whereby a survivor attempts to understand how she has been harmed and, second, on providing explanations based on shared features in the lives of women for two phenomena reported to be experienced by rape victims in the aftermath of the trauma, which I call ‘shattering’ and ‘fragmentation'. My discussion of the lived experience of the harm of rape is meant to supplement existing accounts in the contemporary literature that, I argue, are limited to a thirdperson, objective point of view and so fail to provide a link between the harms they describe and the victim’s actual experience of these harms. Finally, I defend two suggestions for the building up of the survivor’s agency and personhood in the aftermath of rape—the deliberate therapeutic use of feminist consciousness-raising and the use of narrative understanding. / Adobe Acrobat 9.53 Paper Capture Plug-in

The body of a perpetrator as source of physical evidence in rape : a case study in Bahir Dar/Amhara Region/EthiopiaBayih, Adane Genetu 10 1900 (has links)
The aim of this research is to determine what physical evidence can be found on the body of the perpetrator to link the suspect with the crime of rape. Regarding this, the researcher was trying to introduce a number of important concepts such as forensic investigation, chain of custody, evidence, information, identification, individualization, crime scene and the Locard Principle.
This research will explain the meaning of forensic investigation, the objective of criminal investigation, the difference between information and evidence and individualization and identification. An important principle which all investigators and prosecutors should know is the Locard Principle. It says: "Every contact leaves a trace". The principle further explains that, whenever two objects come into contact with one another, material from the first would be transferred to the second and material from the second would be transferred to the first. Although this principle is important for investigators as well as prosecutors, most of them do not know the principle.
The other important thing is the consideration of the body of the perpetrator as a crime scene to prove a crime. A crime scene is defined as an area where a criminal act has taken place. If we get evidence from the body of the perpetrator, we can then consider it as a crime scene. Lastly, regarding the legal rights to collect evidence on the body of the perpetrator, there should be specific laws in Ethiopia. However, there is no specific law. In addition to this, there is no DNA investigation in Ethiopia. Hence, this research will enhance the skills of investigators and prosecutors will benefit from what I have discovered through the research and I am very pleased to be the first Ethiopian in the introduction of the field of forensic investigation to the readers. / Forensic Investigations / M.
