Could the reason bethat the rapist is the victim’s boss, teacher, colleague, boyfriend, a familymember, a casual acquaintance, or maybe a stranger? Author Lydia E. Brew’s Ungolden Silence is an exploration of how rape is treated in theUnited States and reveals significant insights on this crime.

When crimeshappen, we hear the name of every crime victim except the names of people thatare sexually assaulted. The reason that is given it is to protect their privacy– yet they have done nothing wrong except being the unfortunate victims ofrape. It brings us back to the main question of why does a man or a woman rape anotherperson.

Not only are questionsasked, but some possible answers are given which shed a different andunexpected light on the only crime where the name of the victim isprivate.
