Why might alcohol increase the likelihood of sexual assaults?

History

Mariulka [41]3 years ago

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.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The Siege of Boston, which began in 1775, ended when <em><u>the British were forced out of the city in March of 1776</u></em>.

Explanation:

The Siege of Boston began in April 1775 when the American military in New England prevented the movement of the British Troops in Boston. The containment of the British troops took eleven months before being finally removed or driven out of Boston in March 1776.

The Siege would become the starter or opening phase of what would become the American Revolutionary War against the colonial power of Britain. After eleven months of holding on to the city of Boston, the British were unable to get supplies. So, they moved out of Boston and shifted to Halifax in Nova Scotia.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
