What is a rape kit?

A rape kit is described as "The biological and physical evidence collected from a victim of a sexual assault is collectively known as a “rape kit.” The term is also used to describe a case which holds necessary equipment for carrying out an examination on a rape victim. A rape victim is always allowed to decline a rape kit and still receive medical treatment, although collection of evidence is strongly encouraged. In addition to leading police to the perpetrator, a rape kit can also bolster the case in court, should it come to trial." as described by http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-rape-kit.htm. I believe the rap kit is very useful and will be vital in helping people who are victims of rape.

Most often you find that when alcohol is involved and two people are put in an awkward situation...

Saturday night after we got back from the game against dickinson Marcus and Louis decided to go out to the bar. Marcus had recently turned 21 so these past couple weekends he had enjoyed the benefit of finally hanging out with older people and enjoying the nite life...

Anyone that goes out can be a victim and Marcus got too drunk went home with the wrong women and was taken advantage of!
