TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Perceptions of offender motivation in unwanted aggressive sexual advances JO - International review of victimology A1 - Sigler, Robert T. A1 - Curry, Beverly S. SP - 1 EP - 14 VL - 4 IS - 1 N2 - A study designed to examine aspects of perceptions of college students regarding date rape collected data from a randomly selected sample of students from a campus in the southern United States. The levels of rape and date rape, while still substantial, were less than had been anticipated. In addition, the subjects' perceptions of the motivation of the offenders was more positive than anticipated, with the most common label being 'stupid' and 'mentally ill.' The most frequently expressed explanation for offensive male behavior was the belief that the women would eventually consent.
