- dragonwriter 7y ago> But abuse is not a rape. “Rape” is not a federal legal category, and in many state laws includes only nonconsensual penis-vagina intercourse. The common-use terms “prison rape” corresponds more closely to the category used here (which seems to mirror the way things are tracked in DoJ reports of sex crimes in the broader public, which justifies the comparison made to the overall total) than any other one would expect in an official report.
- DanBC 7y agoDoJ use their own definition of rape for statistical purp[oses. > “The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.” https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/blog/updated-definition-rape https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/blog/updated-definition...
