1.9 Yes rape victims should testify against there attackers.No it is not cruel to force these victims to revile the trauma the suffered.They should'nt keep them from testifying because that is denying them the right to confront their accusers.Sheilding them from defense is cross-examination.Sheilding the victims from questioning can be unfair to the person being accused as well because they are not able to hear what the other person is saying like if there telling the truth or not.The rape victim should be treated differently because they never know if there telling the truth or lying.

2.5 Of course rape victims should testify! If they don't, that monster will still be among the people. They will attack again if someone doesn't stop them. They should also testify, so we can find out if they are falsely accusing someone of harming them. Rape victims shouldn't be treated too awfully different from other people, but maybe they should be treated more delicately.

2.2- I think that rape victims should have the choice if they want to.They should make their own decisions since that right was taken away from them once before. Yes, I know most of us want them to talk about it so they wont suffer from it any longer but then they have to over-go through this horrible subject all over again which can make things worse.All in all, I think the victim should make their own decisions for themself.

2.23 Yes I think that rape victims should be forced to testify. I think this because we would get more information about the rape.Also, I believe that more people would confess to there case, and freeze up and be confused on what is the right or wrong thing to say.last,They should be forced to testify so that we could get a better understanding of what really happened and find out who is really lying.This is the reasons why I believe rape victims should be forced to testify.

2.14 Those people raped should testify due to the fact that it may happen again by the same person.This is because the attackers will fell that they will never get busted for what they have done.Victims may also have to relive the harsh reality about a person forcing themselves on them but they must understand that they will never put that person away.In fact the person not testifying is also forced to live with the harsh reality knowing that the wrong doer would still be on the lose, is that really how people want to live.And that's the harsh reality.

2.19 Victims that are raped should testify against their attackers. In my opinion I do not think it is cruel to force people to revile the trauma that they suffered. I also think if they don't want to testify they have the right not to testify. Yes, I think cross-examination is unfair because the other person accused is not allowed to hear the other person. Rape victims should NOT be treated differently because,it is not their fault they were raped.

I think that rape victims should testify against their attacker because they will have the evidence to put the attacker away for some time so, they won't do it again. They also can be holding crucial information that could break the case that will put them away. It is not cruel to make them because they need to put them away so they won't do it to someone else. All in all that is why the victim should testify.

I think rape victims should have to go up on the sand. The reason why i think this is you can usually tell it the victim is lying.Then again they probably don't want to face there fears,I know I don't. I think if the person has a bad past ya they should have to go one the stand but if they don't they shouldn't have to. In conclusion I think it all depends on the persons past weather they have to go up on the stand or not.

I think rape victims should testify because that way the rapist could get caught. If the rapist is caught it means the victim could be relieved because the rapist would be in custody. With that the victim wouldn't have to worry. All in all rape victims should testify so rapists can be taken to jail, and less of them can be on the streets.

2.19 Dear 5 I agree with your post because, if they do not testify then whoever did the crime will just move on and possibly keep doing it.

2-14 I say that testifying is good to get the guy or girl that did it but only if the victim is comfortable with the whole thing.

2.17 I think that most rape victims should testify against their attacker. It is kinda cruel to make someone go through their thoughts to go and put a rapist in jail. That's probably why no one goes to court because they want to just leave that thought and the place it happened at behind. Shielding the victim would not be unfair. If they let the bad questions go through the person could brake down and loose their mind over that question, because it takes them back to the scene. I think rape victims should be treated more delicately because of this crime.

2.22 I believe 100% that rape victims should be able to testify against their attackers in court. I think they should be able to testify because they only know what happen and they can ask them questions based on what happened. I think its kinda cruel to force them because they probably want to forget about what happened but they cant because they asked what happened. no I think they just want to not see them or they want to forget about it. Lets make this short rape is bad don't do it. IT'SSSSS BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

2.4 Yes, I think rape victims should have to testify against there victim. No, because it will get the person that did it in trouble. I think it does deny the right to confront there accusers. Rape victims she still be treated the same as everyone else. I think rape victims should testify against there attacker.

Rape victims should testify against their attackers in court. I don't think it's cruel for the victims to be forced to relieve trauma they suffered because it will be beneficial for the victim later because they'll be safe. If the courts kept victims from testifying it wouldn't be right because they wouldn't feel safe and the rapers would be out on the streets raping woman or men, whatever way they roll. Shielding The victims from questioning is most definitely unfair towards the accused because they wont be punished for their crime. Rape victims should be treated way differently because it would make them feel better and not so hidden.

2.5 number 17, you have a really good point about people wanting to leave the horrible past behind them.

2.30 Rape victims should be able to testify in court. Not forced, but by choice. If they choose not to then that's on them, but if they choose to then their most likely preventing it from happening again to somebody else. Of course its going to be scary seeing who did it & having to go against them but nobody wants to go on in life knowing their case wasn't closed & the person who hurt them is still out there somewhere looking for its next victim. So yes victims of rape should testify in court against their rapist.

2.5 hey, 22, I totally agree. (And I think we get it!)

2.20 Rape victims should be able to testify against their attackers in court, if they want to. It is cruel to force a victim to testify and relive their trauma. Some women are just plain uncomfortable saying those things in front of a lot of people or anyone at all. Keeping them from confronting them is denying their right but it's also preventing them from getting hurt. Shielding the victims can be unfair to the accused because the victim and the accused are the only ones that really know what happened. Finally, rape victims should be treated differently because of the type of crime, they are more offended towards the questions you could say. In the end they should be able to testify but if they think they're strong enough and they want to.

I agree completely with your statement, and I like your word choice.

I think that rape victims should testify for a few reasons. First, it should not cause trauma if they tell the truth and send the rapist to jail. Next, keeping them from confronting their accusers does not help the case. Last, it would not be unfair to the accused if the victim is shielded. All in all, rape victims should not be treated differently because of the nature of the crime.

I say that girls that got raped should be able to testify. I say this because it isn’t fair that guys can take advantage of the girl just because they can overpower her. So that’s why I think they should be able to testify against their accuser. I was reading a book that had the same type of situation in it. But t think women should be able to testify to find out how did the crime and to and for some sort of justice on the rape.

I don't get why you said that you think that "most" rape victims should testify.

I think its completely okay to accept the viewpoints of an ignorant person.Racist and hateful ideas should never be ignored because it can make people feel really bad. Everybody should be confronted for saying bad things and being ignorant. Acceptance of ignorant people is a bad idea because if nobody confronted a person that is ignorant that person would cause trouble with other people from being racist or hateful. Ignoring ignorance guarantees that ignorance will continue because no one is trying to stop it and if its not stopped, then people will seem to be okay with ignorance. Confronting someone's ignorance will maybe guarantee it to stop because somebody else with ignorance will realize that they are terrible people.
