- More about Rape Myths: Understanding, Assessing, and Preventing
Myths and misconceptions about sexual violence contribute to the prevalence of rape and the lack of justice for women who have been subjected to rape. Rape Myths examines the theoretical background, prevalence, assessment, and functions of these beliefs, and considers their conceptualization as Rape Myth Acceptance (RMA). The book outlines the prevalence of RMA among different public and professional groups and the societal consequences of these pervasive beliefs, particularly in terms of treatment within the criminal justice system. It also provides a practical guide for those seeking to research rape myths and other attributions in rape cases.

Myths and misconceptions surrounding sexual violence are believed to be implicated in the prevalence of rape and in the lack of justice for women who have been subjected to rape. Rape Myths, a comprehensive examination of the theoretical background, prevalence, assessment, and functions of these beliefs, delves into the meaning and feminist foundations of rape myths, their conceptualization as the measurable construct of Rape Myth Acceptance (RMA), and their prevalence among different public and professional groups. The book also explores the societal consequences of these pervasive beliefs, particularly in terms of treatment within the criminal justice system. RMA is considered in the crucial context of its scaffolding within wider sexism in society and its perpetuation in the media. Looking ahead, Persson and Dhingra question the effectiveness of rape myth prevention efforts. Can society reduce the prevalence of these beliefs? If so, how?
Rape Myths provides a detailed overview of the psychometric properties of tools used to measure RMA and a methodological manual for designing and executing research in this area. It is a practical guide for those seeking to research rape myths and other attributions in rape cases.
