A UN report says that 10 percent of the female population of the world has been raped or sexually assaulted by the age of 20. Among its other conclusions,

• 120 million girls – one in 10 – are raped or sexually attacked by the age of 20
• Boys also report experiences of sexual violence, but to a lesser extent than girls
• The most common form of sexual violence for both genders is cyber-victimisation
• 95,000 children and teenagers were murdered in 2012
• Slightly over one in three students aged 13-15 experience regular bullying in school
• Six out of 10 children aged between two and 14 are physically punished by carers on a regular basis

In many countries child abuse is accepted as “normal”, although statistics indicate that the effects of the abuse can cause deleterious effects for the rest of the individual’s life.

(Should this be labelled “non-sci”?)

•The most common form of sexual violence for both genders is cyber-victimisation

Be interesting to compare statistics before the internet age.

no, sex comes under biology

I think rape is chemical driven, too high levels of testosorone and other related hormones drive some men to do this

It happens it nature, but it does not fit in with our modern way of life

I wonder how many rapists there are in a society?

what if you reversed those statistics and applied it to men?

I think all our 72 emotions are chemically driven including Depression and sucidal thoughts

Emotional intelligence is one way to control rape

to be emotionally aware and to control your emotions leads to national intelligence

what I’m saying is rapists need to be taught how to control their sexual urges which are chemicals in their body

There have been some studies linking Internet viewed porn to increases in child/child sex abuse in schools

they see their older siblings doing it, or their older siblings do it to them, then they do it to others at school

a learned behavior

72 emotions?

Are you sure its testosorone and not the desire to dominate?

Could be both, dominating and submissive are both chemically driven as well

Im not a biologist who specializes in this area

but its interesting

In years gone by, people have tried to control sexual urges and it doesn’t work. Consider homosexuals and pedophiles, who end up in the hands of psychologists and psychiatrists in order to rid themselves of urges. It doesn’t work.

Also, rape is not about sexual urges. It’s about domination, power and control.

I think sexual urges and domination are chemically linked

we have chemical bodies

its not an easy puzzle to solve when what we are looking is very complex

I dont have an answer

But I would like too see more psychologists and psychiatrists studying human biology and chemistry

I don’t have time to follow this up right now, but this 1978 study is uh, interesting

Personally I don’t think you can rape a woman without subjecting her to a great deal of fear to make her cooperate. Women, even small ones are difficult to control unless fear is introduced, so it is about domination from that point on.

It is difficult to understand rape I think we cannot put it down to one or two things, rather its the chemical environment of the body of the rapist, that is complex, its not simple

The psychology of some sorts of anti-social people presumably funnels their “sexual urges” into anti-social expression.

I think a device like an anti-rape armband should be developed

like a fitness smartphone device that is especially developed for women to combat rape

with gps and some form of alarm, it would need to be not easly broken etc

Why do the women have to wear an anti rape arm band? Why don’t men wear one?

Good idea, they could switch each others on.

Maybe all men should undergo the Ludovico technique in high school and just to be sure all women should wear chastity belts…

Yes its interesting

developing sensors to look at the chemical state of the brain would be interesting also

They dont have to wear one, its up to them

men get raped too, so they can wear one too if they want to

I wonder if you’re barking up the wrong tree with this brain chemistry stuff.

• men get raped too, so they can wear one too if they want to

No, I mean wear an arm band to stop them being offenders…

Maybe in the future armband monitors can play a part in minimizing rape
they could sense sharp increases in chemicals and hormones and then adjust those levels

thats if they can get chemcial/hormone adjustment to work

oooowwwwww,,,that looks like hate

you can’t test a rapist before they become a rapist. I don’t think it’s chemical driven and agree that rape is mostly a power and domination thing.

but this OP states sexual assault which may or may not include penetration.

How can it not be chemically /electrochemically driven

If I take away all the chemicals in the body

Composition of the human body

what happens?

Using that argument it is all down to sub atomic physics.

Using that argument it is all down to sub atomic physics.

But it highlights the obvious that the human body is electrochemically driven

that chemicals drive our emotions thoughts and behaviors through electrochemical interactions

I agree too that rape is mostly a power and domination thing but controlled by electrochemical interactions, and that if researches saw it this way then maybe more could be done in this area to reduce rape, I would be looking at all possible ways to understand rape, pedophiles, violence

if one was to take away all the chemicals in ones body, your left with no body
