that jurors who believe in rape myths are more likely to render “not guilty” judgments for rapists.
Other rape myths include the belief that men get carried away sexually and accidentally assault women, or that women somehow invite sexual violence through their behavior and. Elements of DARVO are woven throughout these rape myths, too, as all rape myths are underpinned by the denial that women are ever truly innocent victims.
are you being completely honest? Are you sure it wasn’t consensual? Why do you keep changing your story? There is no reason to believe that DARVO tactics, even used on individuals who are intentionally lying in their reports, are a more effective truth-finding strategy than non-DARVO approaches. In fact, as reports about the prosecution of truthful rape victims have shown, DARVO often compromises the truth.
Terrible!
