Overview

Date rape is forced or coerced sex between partners, dates, friends, friends of friends or general acquaintances. According to experts, many date rape victims do not immediately realize they’ve been raped. They blame a “misunderstanding” or “mixed signals” for what happened to them. This absolutely essential volume of personal accounts and essays will make controversies regarding date rape much less fuzzy. It presents diversity of opinion on each topic, including both conservative and liberal points of view, in an even balance. Readers will learn what defines date rape, and how it impacts people, schools, and towns. Readers will evaluate areas and situations that may be likely scenes of date rape and other contributing factors. They will evaluate whether the way a woman dresses is a cause for concern, and whether tests for date rape drugs have advantages or disadvantages.
