Basic assumptions
- That with guaranteed security and effective information gathering, all rape cases will be captured, pursued and determined expeditiously
- That with elaborate anti-rape campaign networks, the frequency of occurrence and consequences will drastically fall.
That effective Medicare and proper case pursuit procedures will drastically reduce the emotional actions of the survivors, e.g. committing suicide, performing unsafe abortion or landing in the hands of irresponsible officers.
