No crimes elicit the same degree of public concern as do sexual offences. Between 1 in 4 and 1 in 10 adult women will be raped or sexually abused sometime in their lives in the United States and Worldwide, one in three women will be beaten in their lifetimes. Every year in the United States between 2 million and 4 million American women are beaten by their husbands or boyfriends. Thus, sexual offending is a pervasive problem with a powerful and traumatizing effect on communities and victims. Equally powerful is the dissemination of media reports, government publications, television shows and films that both construct a public fear of sexual perversion as well as develop a crippling stigma that is at many times irreversibly applied.
