Abstract of main article:
Rape is when someone forces another person to have intercourse or other sexual relations by using violence or threats. Rape often causes the victim to suffer strong emotional reactions which can take a long time to work through. Both perpetrator and victim may come from all areas of society. It is difficult to point to any common personality traits of those who rape and of those who are raped.
