Scary attitudes

Arcane moral values and scary attitudes towards women are being presented in a recent report from a research group at the Norwegian Attorney General.

The report shows that several jury members in rape cases often times will question the moral character of the female victim - "nice girls don't act like this", seems to be a common allegation. Members of the jury will many times challenge the actions of the victim prior to the alleged rape.

The people in this report had been jury members in six cases which had overturned a previous court sentence.
