Abstract

Until recently, acts of rape were considered to be contradictory to the basic conception of the kibbutz as a society whose members do not become involved in serious crime. This study attempts to examine the preconceptions of rape of kibbutz youth as compared to those of middle-class urban youth of the same age, in respect to the victim, the assailant, and the circumstances in which the act occurred. Thefindings indicate that the kibbutz is no longer felt to be the safe haven that the members have believed it to be during the greater part of its existence.
