Rape in the District of Young Nahm -A Review of 36 Cases-

Abstract
|
|
|
This study was carried out during the period from Jan 1, 1992 to Dec 31, 1994 on 36 rape victims who visit the emergency rooms of the four general hospitals in the District of Young Nahm. The case records of 36 women examined at the four general
hospitals for the complaint of alleged rape have been reviewed. The usual victims were under the age of 30 years, and attacked by a single assailant. 75 per cent of assailants were strangers to the victims and 83.3 per cent of assailants used no
weapon.
Four patients required hospitalization for the reparative surgery. The data suggest that the use of general hospital emergency rooms for medical management of rape victims discourages their reporting the event to the authorities and their seeking
medical treatment.
