Gendered Power in Rape

1971 - 1977

The period reframed rape as a structural expression of gendered power embedded in social hierarchies, with feminist criminology shaping theories of violence and victimization across forcible rape, sexual assault, and related reports. Trauma-informed, psychodynamic, and psychiatric framings recurred, highlighting psychological trauma, coping, and treatment for victims and offenders. Public health, stigma, and health-policy framings connected rape to sexual health outcomes and service delivery, while child sexuality and family violence patterns emphasized protective and legal responses.

Rape is analyzed as a gendered power issue embedded in social hierarchy, with feminist criminology readings shaping theories of violence and victimization across patterns in forcible rape (1972, 1975), sexual assault on women and girls (1971), rape: power, anger, and sexuality (1977), and related reports (1975, 1976) [2], [4], [8], [9], [14], [15].

Trauma-informed, psychodynamic, and psychiatric framings of rape victims and offenders recur, highlighting psychological trauma, coping, and treatment across Rape Trauma Syndrome (1974), The rape victim: psychodynamic considerations (1976), Crisis and Counseling Request of Rape Victims (1974), Rape: The medical, social, and legal implications (1971), and The psychology of rapists (1971) [1], [6], [11], [19], [20].

Public health, stigma, and health-policy framings connect rape to sexual health outcomes and service delivery, with papers on health facilities, reporting, and stigma across Rape and its victims (1975), Rape: A sexual deviation (1977), Rape: the first sourcebook for women (1974), and human sexuality/sex research contexts (1971) [7], [13], [15], [16].

Child sexuality and family violence focus show patterns of molestation, paedophilia, and protective/legal responses across Children Who Were Raped (1973), Exhibitionism, Sexual Violence and Paedophilia (1973), Sexual Molestation of Children (1975), and Review of child molestation and alleged rape cases (1971) [5], [10], [12], [17].
