Offenses against sexual freedoms with a focus on the offense of rape

Kaznena djela protiv spolne slobode, premda pripadaju tzv. klasičnom obliku kriminaliteta, oduvijek izazivaju pažnju opće i stručne javnosti. Silovanje je vrsta seksualnog napada koji je jedna ili više osoba pokrenula protiv druge osobe bez pristanka te osobe. Djelo se može izvršiti fizičkom silom, ili kad je osoba pod prijetnjom ili manipulacijom, ili s osobom koja nije sposobna za valjani pristanak. Potrebni elementi da bi se spolni odnos smatrao silovanjem su: seksualna invazija pod prisilnim okolnostima, seksualna penetracija prisilom i seksualna penetracija bez pristanka. Na globalnoj razini, 35% žena nekada je doživjelo fizičko i/ili seksualno nasilje od strane intimnih partnera ili seksualno nasilje od strane ne-partnera. Ova brojka ne uključuje seksualno uznemiravanje. Neke nacionalne studije pokazuju da taj broj može doseći i 70%. Kaznena djela protiv spolne slobode regulirana su i opisana u Kaznenom zakonu.Criminal offenses against sexual freedoms, although they belong to the so-called classic form of crime, have always attracted the attention of the general and professional public.
