Title: A Study of Rape Booklet
Caption: Front of booklet
Description: This booklet contains information regarding rape prevention and tips for victims of rape. It was created by J.A. Rosenfeld and published by Women Against Crime in November 1974. In the "Dedication" on the inside of the front cover, Rosenfeld states the aim of the booklet is to provide "aid to the victim herself and to give her moral support," and to supply women with the resources to protect themselves. Rosenfeld asserts that though women must be informed of the dangers of rapists, parents must treat their sons with "love and with respect for women's feelings," as the lack of this often leads to rapists. The booklet has two parts, the first is entitled "Part I: Prevention," and teaches women things of which they should be wary, such as how to design their rooms to keep out intruders, or how to hitchhike safely (though they recommend not doing so). The second part, "Part II: For The Victim," instructs women on what to do after the rape occurs. It teaches women what identifying features of the perpetrator should be described to the police and how to cope with the incident psychologically. Furthermore, at the end, there is information about how the husband of the victim can aid the victim, as well as a note that men can be victims too.
