The two models to use are the due process model and the crime control model. The parable is an example of the due process model. The due process model, as described in the Criminal Justice in America textbook, puts more emphasis on the defendant’s rights and that all the information against them is reliable and they aren’t being wrongly convicted. As opposed to the crime control model that focuses on catching criminals, controlling crime, and prosecuting the offenders. The crime control model is concerned with the speed of prosecution and if they can convict each case. The parable falls into the due process model because of the way the magistrate is handling the case. He knows the townspeople just want the brothel boy to be hung so he could never hurt anyone again. But he tries to talk to the brothel boy to get an understanding of what happened and weighs the options of prosecuting him. The only people who know what happened at the river are the brothel boy and the victim. But since the victim died and nobody will believe the brothel boy who knows what really happened.

USlegal.com defines forcible rape as the victim is prevented from resisting the sexual act because of the offender’s use of force or threats of physical violence. Since there was about 8 years between them he would have been strong enough to hold her down easily. Amir (1967) states that forcible rape happens once the victim and the offender are drawn together, a process is set in motion whereby victim behavior and the situation which surrounds the encounter will determine the course of events leading to the crime. The brothel boy probably felt that this girl was the only one who genuinely cared about him and was nice to him and wanted to show her that he felt the same way.

But because of his lack of education he didn’t know that intercourse required consent from both parties. He couldn’t have figured out that her fighting wasn’t part of the intercourse and that she was trying to get away from

Rape is non-consensual sexual intercourse that a male performs against a woman whom he is neither married to or cohabiting with. The definition of rape changes by geographic location. In some countries a woman must prove she is pure in order to find the perpetrator guilty. Rape used to be more of a violation to the man than to the women. It was a violation of the man’s rights if his wife or girlfriend was raped. When a woman is raped her devotion to her family is questioned. Rape is a violent act, an act of possession, not a sexual act. The myth that men who rape women are sexually pathological has begun to be dispelled and replaced with an understanding that rape is an act of anger, power and control rather than lust.
All around present day pop culture, the demonstration of prostitution is regularly seen as questionable concerning many different moral issues. Prostitution could be characterized as "To offer (oneself or another) in sexual intercourse for money,” and is normally given as an underground administration. Although the practice is unlawful in most places,it has been denoted as a "suitable" occupation hotspot for some people throughout the world. Most of the people who do tend to sell themselves to others for money are, for the most part, women. However men do sometime turn the wrong way and end up in the streets confused themselves. Prostitution raises numerous moral issues coming about, because of the corrupting of one's body through offering a sexual administration that is broadly accessible. The typical discussion as to whether this form of “making money” is ethically wrong concentrates on if the corrupting of one's body could really be acknowledged as assault, and if the people who partake in prostitution might be perpetually forced into this calling, whether it be bad circumstances or them just being unwilling to find another occupation.

Lam was a sociopath and very manipulative, he took advantage of Kien’s family. Kien’s cousins were also cruel to him and his brother. They were poor, and took great joy in tormenting Kien and Jimmy.

When someone who is eighteen years or older has sexual intercourse with a minor it is considered rape regardless to if the sex is consensual or not. In most cases, but not all, the male is the adult and the female is the minor. In different places, the law varies. For instance, in some counties, if the difference in age is not at least five years, the court will not even bring the case to trial. But all of the laws everywhere are bias towards men. There is even a saying that says “sixteen will get you twenty.” “Sixteen” is the age of the girl, and “twenty” represents the amount of years a man would be sentenced to serve in jail if he was to have sexual intercourse with her.

In the today’s society, social media has gone out of hand. Most people these days have a cell phone, Ipad and/or laptop and most definitely a television at their home. Therefore, access to pornography has become extremely easy and can be available to any individual in less than 5 minutes. The best definition of pornography can be explained as sexually explicit words or images intended to provoke sexual arousal. The easy access to porn has raised many people to question if porn is harmful, if it should be censored, and if it is unsafe.
