1. In your opinion, why are we still blaming victims of sexual assault rather than focusing the blame on the perpetrators? In no other crimes do we see widespread blaming of victims for their victimization, so why this? Explain your response.
2. What reasons might the mayor have for not blaming the people who actually carried out the assaults? Do you think Western society's obsession with being "politically correct" and not offending certain groups might have anything to do with her response? Explain.
3. What do you think of the argument that the city has lost control of certain neighborhoods, making them "no-zones" where the police feel they cannot guarantee the safety of locals and tourists? What do you anticipate could be the long term impact of giving up certain areas as lawless?
