Are Rape Victims at Fault?

That's what a poll found in the UK. It was reported on Monday, that more than half of the people surveyed in the UK (56%) believe that some victims of rape should take at least some of the responsibility for being attacked. Reasons cited where women are at least partially responsible include:
  • Wearing revealling clothing - 28%
  • Dancing provacatively - 23%
  • Accepting a drink from a stranger - 15%
The research was called Wake Up to Rape. Read the full article here and let me know what you think in the comments.
