Why might alcohol increase the likelihood of sexual assaults?

History
1 answer:
Mariulka [41]3 years ago
5 0

There are several reasons why alcohol increases the likelihood of sexual assaults.  The National Institute of Justice identifies the following factors, to which I'll add some of my own explanations:

  • Alcohol use can lead to increased aggressive behavior -- so a person who might otherwise act respectfully toward others can become sexually aggressive.
  • Alcohol use inhibits a person's ability to interpret another person's behavior and signals.  So a man might think a woman "wants it" when she really doesn't, and when she says no and tries to fight him off he'll think she's "playing."
  • When on a date, alcohol use makes both men and women more likely to think that sex will be a part of the date.  Though both may begin the date with that thought, it then can also happen that one person doesn't have a desire for the date to end in sex, but the other insists it will.
  • Alcohol consumption makes individuals take risks they would normally avoid.  So a woman may not safeguard herself the way she would normally because she's under the influence of alcohol, and be more in danger of becoming a victim of assault.
  • Alcohol can undermine an individual's capability to resist sexual advances or a sexual assault.  If a person is in an intoxicated state, she may become unable to fight back or remove herself from an assault situation.

nikklg [1K]

The Articles of Confederation were replaced by the US Constitution because the federal government had almost no power. Since the federal government had almost no power, very few new laws were passed and the US could not raise a strong army to put down Shay's Rebellion.


When creating the Articles of Confederation, framers feared giving the central (aka federal) government too much power. This was based on America's experience with a "tyrannical" central government when they were under British rule. This is why the Articles of Confederation does not give the federal government the right to tax and needs 13 out of 13 states in order to add an amendment.

Explain the origins of Islam
Flura [38]

The history of Islam concerns the political, social, economic and developments of Islamicate civilization. Most historians believe that Islam originated in Mecca and Medina at the start of the 7th century CE, approximately 600 years after the founding of Christianity.

The origin of Islam is generally accredited to the prophet Muhammad.The rise of Islam is intrinsically linked with the Prophet Muhammad, believed by Muslims to be the last in a long line of prophets that includes Moses and Jesus. Because Muhammad was the chosen recipient and messenger of the word of God through the divine revelations, Muslims from all walks of life strive to follow his example. After the holy Qur'an, the sayings of the Prophet (hadith) and descriptions of his way of life (sunna) are the most important Muslim texts.
