Who is more affected the Rapist or the Rape victim?


Hypothesis: Rape always affects someone, whether it's the person getting raped, someone who hears it or someone who witnesses it. If people would talk about their emotions and the things that happen to them, maybe the percentage of rape would drop? I believe that if you want help then you will be helped. I am hoping soon our world will not reek with such vile and repulsive actions. So if precautions were taken i believe rape could be prevented?

 
Context: The audience I chose to prevail toward's teens that have been sexually assaulted. I chose this group because I found it interesting that people shaped their life from what happened to them at a young age. I wanted the middle time, between what they're going to become and what they already were. The Changing cycle of there life: where they cope with the after affects.

Data Analysis:
The results above say that Males and females think alike when it comes to opinionated question and think a tad bit differently when it comes to ethical questions. Rape can be looked at by many perspectives and can be taken and handled differently by different people. The overall fact is that no matter who is taking the survey everyone knows that rape is wrong, and no one deserves to be cruelly violated in such an impersonal way.
Finding one:

When I asked why rapists commit rape? The responses I gave them to choose from where they were raped as a child, they were psychopaths, and that they could have been a sadist. The majority of my surveyors chose psychopaths, and the rapist being raped as a child. It seems if people happen to recognize that they are psychopaths, they would be under supervision ,or at least in a mental ward, to prevent harm to others. Rape can be prevented if people were to take precautions. The same suggestion goes out to a rapist that was raped as a child if you were raped as a child and realized you were have thought or dreams anything that implies that you want to rape people, know that it is wrong, you should seek help from a professional. Everything happens for a reason, and if people keep doing what they are doing the pattern of rape will never go away, but if people begin to take evasive action, then the pattern of rape will soon cease to exist.
Finding Two:

In life when you go through a time in your life when nothing is good, you are in a rut and you have tried everything possible to get escape, there is something or someone holding you back from moving forward. In this case, this person is a rapist, and what he/she is holding over you is your strength and your life. Even if you do not ever see this person, again in your life they still have a hold on you. Furthermore, the most reliable way to do so is to forgive them for violating you, and then become at peace with it, make what happened to you a good thing. I asked my audience a question like this and I was immensely glad to see that the majority from both male a females they chose this answer. It shows that even though it may be hard to do people are willing to get past a terrible mishap.
Conclusion:
When I asked my audience about trying to see if we looked it in a mental illness that can be helped, maybe even treated could the percentage of rape in the United States. drop? The results were approximately, half-and-half, half said no and half said yes. I do not know the reasoning behind theses answers but if the people who said yes were thing in the same mindset that I had then there reasoning is exactly what I stated in my second finding. I did not make this survey with an already set in my head a way of how I thought people would answer the questions; I just was hoping that my questions were not outrageous, or belligerent. I am proud to say that I do not feel that I went way past anyone boundaries for my survey.
Follow up:
For my second research memo, I want to go into depth of how the psyche works, after something traumatizing happens. I do not believe I have changed my research question, because although it was specific it still leaves room to come in from a variety of directions.
