The rapist and the victim: who is to blame

If we talk about robberies, murders and rapes, the native town of something looks like a graphic novel Sin City Frank Miller's authorship. However, only a small part of the dark side of life falls on the television screens. Internet the same, though, and choking the flow of heartbreaking stories, but loses important topics in the seas of the funny seals, advertising spam and popular beauty bloggers. We can only view that is expressed and people on the street and online. It always divides mankind precisely in half, one side of sympathy for the victims and the perpetrator wants to crucify the other, on the contrary, finds any arguments to lay blame on the victim as well.

No one openly says that he supports the rapist. But there are people who will each time after the conviction of the offender to speak his "but". This logic is clear and understandable, but it gives some servility to the situation with which one can not or does not want to fight. For a good example: "This guy is terrible, it needs to be neutered, but it's my fault"; "That bastard must be jailed, but did you see how she was dressed?"; "I'm not making excuses for the abuser, but I heard that she was rude to him in every way asking for a good bashing." Thus, part of the society does not accept responsibility for what happens under his nose. Why do something to solve, when it suffered in a short skirt? Let's forbid their daughters to walk in them, and the daughters of other fathers will be called whores. An excellent way out of a situation where all the goats, except yourself. And most importantly, it does not cost anything to spend time is not necessary. Supporters of the victim at least can be understood. They are shocked by the news, they are fully stand on the side of the victim and spewed flames all who admits a catch. There have been many cases where the girl was never raped, but because of her behind bars sent some young guy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Icon of the victims, of course, stronger than any argument. she turns the heads of the crowd, the crowd from her crazy. Is it not for this reason that Jesus is still popular? He was a victim, and the people associated with him. But is it possible to strangle all the criminals in the gas chambers? Does the world feel any cleaner and safer?

When people follow the characters blindly share everything that they see around them, black and white, then nothing can not work normally. Including the law enforcement system. No one doubts that in Russia takes place just a monstrous number of rapes, but at the same time only a few cases are revealed. To solve this problem the executions never anybody did not work: violence begets violence, and punishment will never serves as a lesson. It is enough to read the novel "Live Flesh" British writer Ruth Rendell to understand human logic, which makes rape. This will not fix the prison, the chimera can only destroy the treatment.

But in Russia there is no system of psychological protection of the population. The man in our country are not accustomed to discuss their personal problems with a specialist who is called a psychologist. But almost every American family has its own family psychologist, which helps to cope with various difficulties, not bringing them to the pure and genuine evil. Our men are left to themselves, as well as women. But I'm not asking you to feel sorry for criminals, but the blame for the crime does not lie only on it. This is a problem of the system, which allows you to multiply to such individuals. Once my friend was in the interrogation at the operative. He took part in some demonstrations and caught under the hot hand of one of the security forces. So sitting in the office of the investigator, the latter showed him a large and weighty folder - unsolved cases of rape over a short period in a single southern city. Then the inspector complained that the real work is slack due to the fact that management is constantly chasing them nonsense like rallies and demonstrations. That is, most of the time police are engaged in work that does not make any sense: paperwork, interviews of people who have not published the picture in your profile, passers-by with the protest action. A case, the real deal, for sure still gathering dust in one big folder. And these folders across the country tens of thousands.

But we are indignant long skirts, make-up, or brightness, as do the radical person, masculine nature. People are afraid to think that the solution to this national problem lies in the titanic work that needs to create new institutions of society from us (eg, psychological support). But today we nibbled each other, discussing the consequence rather than the cause. Statistics will not change. And if nothing changes dramatically today, then tomorrow will be more rapes.
