Abstract

Blaming the Victim is a 30-minute radio documentary which explores victim-blaming
attitudes towards sexual assault victims. Victim-blaming is a phenomenon where
blame is partially or fully attributed to a victim of an assault. The documentary
examines why people have victim-blaming attitudes, how these attitudes are
perpetuated and why victims often blame themselves for their own attacks. It also
highlights some common misperceptions of sexual assault such as who its victims
and perpetrators are.
