The Socio-Cultural Context of Rape: A Cross-Cultural Study.
Sanday, Peggy Reeves
Journal of Social Issues, v37 n4 p5-27 Fall 1981
Data from a cross-cultural sample of tribal societies suggest that rape is part of a cultural configuration which includes interpersonal violence, male dominance, and sexual separation. Rape is interpreted as the sexual expression of these forces in society where harmony between men and their environment has been severely disrupted. (Author/MJL)
