Cross-Cultural Codes On Seven Types of Rape

Cross-Cultural Codes On Seven Types of Rape The paper presents cross-cultural codes for rape, based on areconceptualization of rape, giving definitional precedence to femalechoice, across social norms. The social complexity of rape was indicatedby the fact that in 60% of the societies both normative (sociallycondoned) and non-normative rape were found in the same society,suggesting regulation rather than prohibition. The importance of codeconstruction due to the direct link between incidence rates andoperational definitions of rape is discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Behavior Science Research SAGE

Abstract

The paper presents cross-cultural codes for rape, based on areconceptualization of rape, giving definitional precedence to femalechoice, across social norms. The social complexity of rape was indicatedby the fact that in 60% of the societies both normative (sociallycondoned) and non-normative rape were found in the same society,suggesting regulation rather than prohibition. The importance of codeconstruction due to the direct link between incidence rates andoperational definitions of rape is discussed.
