efforts, raising the drinking age, using special license
plates to designate repeat offenders and more. The paper

Deviant
Behavior & The Power of Labeling
[ send
me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that examines the use of labeling
and how it relates to what is considered to be deviant
behavior. For instance, the writer points out that if a
woman grows herbs, blends them into creams and potions,
and sells them on the open market today, she is considered
an astute businesswoman in the booming business of natural
homeopathic remedies. If a woman did exactly the same
thing three hundred years ago, she'd have been burned or
hung as a witch. The writer demonstrates how the same
concept can be applied to conceptions of mental illness,
drugs, and sexual deviance. Bibliography lists 1 source.

The
Crime Of Rape / Responsibility, Blame, & Reporting The
Incident
[ send
me this paper ]
A 12 page research paper in which the writer discusses the
failure of most women to report rape due to the
unfortunate reality that society fails to accept their
definition of rape in many cases and is not always
sympathetic towards their plea for justice. Comparisons
are made between male and female views of rape and who
should be blamed. For example, men are more likely to
blame the woman if she is known to have acted in a
provocative, 'sexy' fashion whereas women may blame a rape
victim because of their need to feel that they are in
control of a violent situation and also because of their
need to distance themselves from the victim. Disparate
psychological issues concerning recovery & coping are
also discussed. Bibliography lists more than 20 sources.
