Rape is the only crime in which the victim becomes the accused.
Interpretation
What this quote means
This quote highlights the injustice faced by victims of rape, who are often blamed instead of supported.
Freda Adler's quote emphasizes the alarming reality that, in cases of rape, victims often find themselves being treated as if they are at fault for the crime committed against them. This societal tendency to shift blame onto victims rather than holding perpetrators accountable reflects deep-rooted issues within justice systems and cultural attitudes towards sexual violence, ultimately discouraging survivors from coming forward and seeking justice.
