Rape In The United States.

Rape, it has infected our country since it was first settled. And is still a very prevalent crime that infects our country to this day. I wont say that slavery is where it started because that would be an incorrect statement; however i will state that slavery is where it is found the most. And the slave women couldnt say no to thier master, they had to just endure and because they couldnt resist, they could report the crime this left them feeling scared. This crime effects the victim in several ways: emotionally, mentally and physically. Some mental effects of the aftermath of rape is the victim  might have reoccurring nightmares about rape, flashbacks of the rape and the inability to stop remembering the rape. These are only a few of the mental

effects of rape. To continue, some of the emotionally effects of rape is social withdraw meaning that they try to not experiencing any feelings whatsoever. The rape victim can also become depressed but these are just some negative effects. Some victim avodate or take it as a learning event and move on. The physical effects is pregnancy.
