Book Synopsis Blaming the Victim by : William Ryan
Download or read book Blaming the Victim written by William Ryan. This book was released on 2010-12-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic work that refutes the lies we tell ourselves about race, poverty and the poor. Here are three myths about poverty in America: – Minority children perform poorly in school because they are “culturally deprived.” – African-Americans are handicapped by a family structure that is typically unstable and matriarchal. – Poor people suffer from bad health because of ignorance and lack of interest in proper health care. Blaming the Victim was the first book to identify these truisms as part of the system of denial that even the best-intentioned Americans have constructed around the unpalatable realities of race and class. Originally published in 1970, William Ryan's groundbreaking and exhaustively researched work challenges both liberal and conservative assumptions, serving up a devastating critique of the mindset that causes us to blame the poor for their poverty and the powerless for their powerlessness. More than twenty years later, it is even more meaningful for its diagnosis of the psychic underpinnings of racial and social injustice.

Book Synopsis Predictors of Blame Attribution to Victims of Sexual Assault and Other Crimes by :
Download or read book Predictors of Blame Attribution to Victims of Sexual Assault and Other Crimes written by . This book was released on 2021. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research has indicated that many factors, including just world beliefs, rape myth acceptance, gender role norms, and sexism can increase victim-blaming toward sexual assault victims. However, these factors have not been studied together to predict victim-blaming. Additionally, past studies have shown discrepancies in victim-blaming based on the gender of the victim and the crime that is committed, though the research is inconclusive about the direction of the discrepancies. Our study assessed victim-blame towards victims of different genders and different crimes, just world beliefs, rape myth acceptance, gender role norms, and sexism to identify predictors of victim-blame. Rape myth acceptance, gender role norms, and sexism were predictive of victim-blame; just world beliefs were not. Additionally, victim-blame had an inverse relationship with perpetrator punishment. Crime and gender discrepancies are discussed. These constructs may impact sexual assault victims both personally and in the legal system and are worthy of further study.
