Drawing on the authors’ research, the book details the prevalence of RMA among different public and professional groups, as well as the societal consequences of these pervasive beliefs, particularly in terms of treatment within the criminal justice system. RMA is considered in the crucial context of its scaffolding within wider sexism in society and its perpetuation in the media. Looking ahead, Persson and Dhingra question how well rape myth prevention works. Can society reduce the prevalence of these beliefs? If so, how? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluding a detailed overview of the psychometric properties of tools used to measure RMA, and a methodological manual for designing and executing research in this area, \u003cem\u003eRape Myths\u003c\/em\u003e is a practical guide for those seeking to research rape myths and other attributions in rape cases. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55478354084214,"sku":"9781800711556","price":38.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_33590341.jpg?v=1744249289","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781800711556-rape-myths","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
