Abstract

The article discusses the social aspects of rape in relation to the Internet videos and social media as of July 2013. It states that several anonymous plaintiffs have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education and various universities for allegedly violating students' civil rights by failing to enforce the nation's Clery Act and investigate reports of crimes on college campuses. Several suicides by rape victims such as Audrie Pott and Rehtaeh Parsons are examined.
