520			_aThis book draws upon New Zealand and international research and literature to provide a feminist and cultural analysis of rape. The author considers rape in the context of wider social factors, and how this contributes to differing definitions and meanings behind the term 'rape'. Changes over time pertaining to how the justice system deals with rape cases are examined. The prevalence of rape and sexual assault is investigated, revealing that the majority of rape perpetrators are known to the victim. The book discusses the 'culture of rape', where perpetrators are often excused and women blamed for the occurrence of rape. This also leads to instances of rape not seen as such when the offender is known to the victim, particularly within the context of marriage. The author examines the social construction of rape, including the general acceptance in society of 'just sex' as opposed to 'rape'. One of the chapters explores personal accounts from women who have experienced 'unwanted sex', but do not class this as rape. The women believe that 'going through' with unwanted sex protected them from being raped. This book also includes a chapter on women raping men.
