Is rape motivated by sex or aggression? Explain and provide support for your answer
What will be an ideal response?
The determination of whether rape is motivated by sex or aggression has not been definitively made. While rape
is an aggressive act, sexual motivation is also often involved. The fact that rape victims are rarely old and that
rapists report sexual motivation as a reason for their actions leads me to conclude that rape is a violent act that is
motivated by sex. (sample response - many correct answers possible)
