Details

Rape myths are stereotyped or false beliefs surrounding rape, rapists, or rape victims that include elements of clemency for the perpetrator, denying perceived injury, or shifting blame to the victim. While the concept of rape myths has been researched for over fifty years, it is only recently that researchers have attempted to study rape myths involving the LGBTQ community. The current study explores students' views of rape and sexual assault of LGBTQ individuals.
