Abstract
The paper examines the issue of date rape, noting that it is not new, but that in the past authorities often viewed the victim as at least partially responsible for putting herself in the situation in the first place. The paper adds that also a reasonable doubt might be raised by the fact that the rapist and the victim were on a date at the time, so that a defense might be made that crossed signals were at fault rather than criminal intent. "

From the Paper
"Rape has long been addressed by the criminal justice system as a crime, though how assiduously the system raises the issue and makes its case depends on a variety of circumstances and prevailing social attitudes. More recently, attitudes have changed so that claims of date rape are taken more seriously, and in addition, today there are certain drugs used for date rape and acquaintance rape, adding to the problem."

Abstract
A study that explores whether overweight females date less often than females of regular weight.

From the Paper
"Greenberg and associates note that television prime time shows consistently have episodes in which overweight and obese females are considered less likely to attract romantic partners than women of regular weight. However, is this true in real life? Do overweight females date less often than females of regular weight? This study was designed to answer this question. Specifically, the study tested the following research hypothesis: Overweight women will date significantly less..."

"Introduction
Historically, the word rape has transfigured from meaning to act in haste, to meaning to seizing someone else s property violently, to meaning sexual intercourse occurring without the consent of one of the people involved, primarily using force or deception (Oxford English Dictionary, 1989). This most current meaning creates a picture of a stranger lurking in the bushes on a dark night, breaking into a house, or kidnapping a victim in a car to take them someplace else to rape, and possibly kill. While these types of attacks are very real, they are only a part of the entire picture of rape. According to one study by the National Center for the Prevention and Control of Rape, 92 percent of adolescent rape victims were acquainted with their attackers. Other studies estimate that at least 50 to 75 percent ..."

Abstract
Date rape is a serious social issue, which must be addressed appropriately. This paper discusses how it is important to first develop a clear and absolute definition of date rape to protect men from false accusations and to protect women from sexual victimization on dates. It explains that this definition is needed so women can realize when things are proceeding in the wrong direction and take some action to stop it, while men can proceed cautiously and shield themselves from false allegations that next morning.

From the Paper
"Date rape is a less technical term for acquaintance rape where offender is identified as a non-relative whom the victim knew personally. However the extent of this relationship may vary from case to case. In some cases, the offender and victim may have been on first date when the incident occurred while in others, they might be in steady relationship. Vast body of research on the subject reveals that date rape is a common social problem that is not limited exclusively to college students. Women of all age groups have experienced sexual coercion by a male acquaintance on a date. Pineau (1989) defines date rape as ?non-aggravated sexual assault, nonconsensual sex that does not involve physical injury, or the explicit threat of physical injury" (Pineau 217). Still date rape is a vaguely defined crime: one factor that has contributed to its growth."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the increased use of gamma-hydroxybutric acid (GHB) to facilitate assault is a growing concern across America. The writer points out that colloquially known as the 'date-rape' drug, GHB is not only inexpensive, it is also easily accessible and easy to use by those wishing to conduct sexual assault. The writer discusses that for this reason, there is a need for women to be better informed about the uses of GHB, its effects, and how it is used in sexual assault. In addition GHB's legal status is discussed as well as the regulations that are in place from the FDA and DEA.

From the Paper
"Traditional cases of date rape involve substances that will likely physically disable their victims, sedating them into a state of unconscious anesthesia, which deprives them of cognition. This includes the ability to be oriented, the ability to remember what happened during the event, and the ability to maintain consciousness. The ideal drug, according to Jansen and Theron will create profound memory loss and will last at least a few hours, while impairing the ability to move. The ideal date rape drug is colorless and odorless, and can be dissolved easily in alcoholic or other beverages. GHB meets all of these requirements for the perfect date rape drug.
"Once awakened from their drugged coma, victims report a significant period of memory loss, where they typically have been moved to a new location. Often, the last memory a victim recalls is drinking a strongly flavored beverage that has been given to them by the perpetrator."

Abstract
For fifteen years date rape has been a recognized problem in the United States. Initially, it is defined and its occurrence levels analyzed. Subsequently, attribution theory is examined as a causal factor. Finally, potential programs to reduce date rape based on the attribution theory are introduced.

Abstract
This paper discusses how date rape, or acquaintance rape, has become such a common phenomenon. The paper takes the position that this has got a lot to do with the educational system and suggests possible solutions.

From the Paper
"However, what is even more surprising than these high figures is that most occurrences of date rape go unreported. Several theories exist that try to explain this phenomenon. For example, many women may refuse to believe that their "friend" raped them. In fact, they could ultimately convince themselves that that horrid night never actually occurred. Moreover, there is embarrassment following the attack in which memory and emotions become mixed up. When alcohol or drugs are involved, the women may have no memory of the attack whatsoever. Even if the victim does remember the attack, they could be left with a sense that they let themselves be taken advantage of. In cases such as this, the victim may blame them self instead of the attacker."

Abstract
This paper seeks to explore the effect of rape myths on the victim. The paper explains that rape myths are stereotyped, false and prejudicial beliefs which serve to downplay the perpetrator's responsibility and criminality while shifting blame towards the victim. The paper looks at how these myths continue to be entrenched in society and thus dominate the general attitudes towards this crime. It also discusses how the myths contribute significantly to victims' feelings of guilt and often make it impossible for them to realize that they have even been raped.

From the Paper
"To understand their dilemma we have to consider the societal predispositions towards the subject, the gender roles engrained in both women and men and the self protective mechanisms that exist in both the rapist and the society that tolerates his actions. The legal definitions of rape so far include forced vaginal, oral and anal sex that was either accomplished or attempted. Date rape, more specifically, is sexual assault that occurs when victim and perpetrator know each other through some form of accepted social contact. It is an act which uses sex as a weapon to exert power and humiliate, which makes this such a unique scenario, legally and personally. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the Moschophoros statue in the Acropolis Museum in Athens, which has been dated to around 560 BC by scholars. The writer compares the Moschophoros to a number of representative Kouroi and Korai, whose dates have been more or less determined, and considers how his eyes, ears, mouth, lips and torso compare with the artistic developments in the 2nd quarter of the 6th century BC, demonstrating that a date of around 560 BC is secure within 5-10 years. By also comparing the representation of clothing on the Moschophoros with the Kore form, this date is further reaffirmed. This paper contains figures.

From the Paper
"The Moschophoros has suffered some damage over the years, most of which was likely caused by the Persian sacking of Athens in 479/80. Moschophoros' genitals are missing from the sculpture because a good share of the front side of his left leg from roughly the left hip down to the shinbone is gone. His right hand is completely broken off just above the wrist and his left hand is partially broken off. The calf's left hind leg is partly missing in the same breakage as his left hand's demise; the calf's right front leg swings around Moschophoros' neck and is partially lost in the breakage that is centred at the centre of the chest of Moschophoros."
