Just when you thought they couldn’t get any better!
I deliberately steered clear of the “cry wolf” brigade as they do themselves and other females great harm- it creates doubt in a jury’s mind, it prevents genuine cases from either getting to caught or getting a guilty verdict.
However, my original point remains valid (and this goes for almost any crime).
If you deliberately and consciously place yourself in a position of great risk through your own actions and no one’s then the risk you take is YOURS. What happens to you is not your fault, but it is a risk you are taking. Getting catatonically drunk is a deliberate individual act- no one makes you consume gallons of alcohol- you have free will.
Alcohol consumption, if it places you in a position where you could have come to harm AND where you would unlikely to have been in had you been sober, should always be considered in claims for compensation of ANY crime.
The sooner society accepts responsibility for their actions, the better.
No one ever, ever deserves to be raped or “asks for it” but I can guarrantee most of us have been out on a saturday night, seen someone (male or female) utterly incapable of doing anything due to alcohol and thought “I hope you know how you’re getting home in one piece”- it happens every weekend up and down the country.

If we cross the road and get hit by a car it must be our fault because roads are dangerous places and we have put ourselves in danger.
Sharon, crossing the roads with your eyes shut…?
I must be losing the plot here as I cannot see what the problem is.
I am NOT saying anyone who drinks who is then raped is the one at fault or is “asking for it”
I AM saying anyone who drinks beyond the ability to make any sort of physical or mental movement places themselves in a very vulnerable position by their own volition- as I said, you wouldnt leave your car parked in Tesco’s with all the windows wound down and then wonder why some scrote had nicked you car stereo!
As such, try getting ANY insurance money in the above event? You wouldnt get a bean- and that is my point.
If you deliberately place yourself in a position of extreme vulnerability and risk- a position which you had total control over before you voluntarily chose to get bladdered- you should recognise that the risk sits with you- the crime, the evil scum who commits it- thats nothing to do with you and never your “fault” but the onus to ensure you remain safe always sits with you as an individual first- n thats whatever crime may be perpetrated on you.
So should any victim, of any crime, receive the same amount of compensation when they have deliberately placed themselves in that position- whether it be rape, assualt, burglary, mugging, etc? Not in my eyes.
Rape is an evil crime and much more about power than about sex but it is naive beyond reason not to understand the society we live in and the dangers it holds.
I still find it amazing that anyone, ,male or female, walks home alone after a night out but time and again on our local paper will be reports of sexual or physical assualt “as they walked home alone”- if it isnt safe, why put yourself in that position? Why then make it a thousand times worse by drinking so you can hardly stand and stop making any rational decisions?
Have you never heard of personal responsibility..or is it always everyone else’s fault?
Would you walk through Wandsworth or Tower Hamlets in a BNP T shirt? Would you drive at 90 mph with your eyes closed? Would you drive when drunk? If I drink so much tonight, fall over the cat n break my leg/arm/neck- whose fault is it- the cats or mine? Its mine for being so drunk I couldnt even walk straight
If you get blind drunk, so drunk as to make you incapable of rational thought, ANYTHING which happens to you is wrong, but anything which happens to you is more likely to happen because of your behaviour. It doesnt make it right but it makes it a darn sight more probable- how can compensation be awarded if you have contributed to your own situation
FACT- Alcohol reduces your reactions
FACT- Alcohol dulls senses
FACT- Alcohol reduces fear
FACT- Alcohol reduces the capacity for rational decisionsNow tell me again why its such a good idea?
I am sick of our society abdicating responsibility for its actions by believing it can do what it likes, when it likes, to whatever extreme it likes…..n when it goes wrong, it is always someone elses fault.
