Crime of Rape on Men
Despite the technological, moral and intellectual advancement of our society today, there are still those among us who condemn and abhor homosexuality and the people associated with it.The daily lives of many homosexual men are overshadowed by the fear of homophobic (an extreme and irrational aversion to homosexuality and homosexual people) hate crimes. It is a reality that their fear and risk of being abused or attacked is increasing day by day (Geen, 2010). These people are facing danger from the society in many forms, from daily nuisance to serious sexual and physical stabbings. There are many incidents of crimes against homosexual men due to homophobia of other members of our society. It has been reported that in February 2010, three men were confronted by a large mob in a shopping area near Kingston and were accused of being homosexual.The New York Times reported on Thursday, June 7, 2012 that apart from the whites, other men living in USA had experienced doubled police violence all over the country. (Morris, 2012). This problem of turning against such people can create glitches in our society because they might cross their limit offorbearance and would surely retaliate and createchaos, which would directly or indirectly victimize the locals including neighbors, coworkers, and relatives i.e. our society (Morris, 2012).
Summary
On October 15, 2011 it was reported that in Zimbabwe three women had been arrested for sexually assaulting male hitchhikers, after each of the seventeen victims positively identified the three women (Mavhunga, 2011). Male rape is now recognized as a criminal act. People in our society disagree that such cases can be classified as rape, because of the nature of the activity involved. It is argued that a man will ejaculate when he is inspired and wishes himself to do so, regardless of whether he is willing or not; and people think that there must be involvement of two people for rape to happen and taking the one's side thoughtlessly is not good. Nevertheless, women are still considered to be responsible for such crimes and this is evident from the fact that when a woman shows her insatiability for sexual intercourse, only then men are raped whereas medically, it is proven that men have higher desire for intercourse and men do not find it that easy to overcome such feelings. Somehow, in the gay community it is just opposite. About 10 to 20% of men report experiencing low desire, compared to 20 to 30% of women (hitchedmag.com, 2013).
Studying the past statistics of rape crimes in United States, it can be seen that it is decreasing yearly and the crime of rape on men in particular is decreasing. This is because many of the cases went on unreported because of the personal shame and embarrassments in the society, moreover some of the rapes are conducted in the prison itself as it was reported the news on December 16, 2007 that more than 70,000 were sexually abused in the past 12 months in U.S. Federal Prison and the majority of them went on un reported.Hrw.org (2013). And it should be so because it is affecting our community and our civilization. The use of drugs is indirectly increasing because in the recent statistics, we see that drugs are being used in order to rape men. The victim and the offender both are drunk in 47% of the rape crime, in the case of offender only who had been drinking there are 17% of such cases. Only 7% of the crimes are reported in which the victim had been drinking and the rest 29% are the rape crime cases in which there are no use of drugs neither by victim nor the culprit. More than half of the rapes are occurred at the victim's place where else the rest are been conducted in the culprits place, parties, bars, or in vehicles.(Abbey, et. al, 2004)
A study proves that 119 cases of the male sexual stabbing were evident that the victims were found helpless and were overwhelmed by the threatening situation. A man would be a gay or acting like a gay if he had been assaulted by another person (Petrak and Hedge 2002).
Analysis
According to a study there is no such group that is causing these crimes but the fact that such people are usually not caught is a shame in itself however, the outrage is broke against the homosexual by the heterosexual men becausethey are often facing difficulties by gays and it is evident when the people in the society offends a normal person by giving him the title of gay and such offence...
Constitutional, Legal and Ethical Issues in Criminal Justice Police abuse remains one of the most serious and divisive human rights violations in the United States.

…Chapter 1IntroductionStudent truancy is a growing problem in the United States. Over the last twenty years the truancy rates have grown nationwide with the highest rates in inner cities (Jacob & Lovett, 2017).
