By Deb Bettenhausen i
"If you're going to rape me,
you'd better make it good."
A potential rapist hit with this
stunning statement would most,
likeiy turn and runexactly the
intent of Linda Steinman, Lin
coln Police Department officer,
who spoke at Morrill Hall
auditorium Monday on rape and
how to prevent it.
According to Steinman, "The
perfect rape victim is the woman
who walks down the street
looking like she doesn't know
where she is going."
Steinman said a woman's best
weapon is her voice, not self
defense tactics or weapons such
as mace, because they may harm
both victim and assailant.
When a victim Is raped or an
attempt Is made, it should be
reported immediately to the
police, Steinman said. The vic
tim should then go to a hospital,
where police will meet her. Only
female officers handle rape
cases in Lincoln, Steinman said,
because this makes the trauma
less unbearable and easier to
discuss.
Steinman advised victims not
to change their clothes, take a
shower or do anything to change
their physical state after the
attack. These measures arel
taken to prevent further physical
injury to the victim and to
preserve any evidence, she said.
According to Steinman, the
patient is identified at the
hospital, then seen by an
emergency room physician and
nurse. They hear a brief state
ment from the victim and
attempt to find ot just what
happened, she said. Hospital
personnel may then tell the
police what characteristics to
look for in a suspect.
The initial check-up is fol
lowed by a thorough physical,
examination, Steinman said. She I
said past sexual history of the I
victim is ascertained and the
victim is advised of her options
in the case of pregnancy or1
venereal disease. This examina
tion "deals with the victim on an
emotional as well as physical
level," Steinman said.
Upon completion of the phys
ical examination the victim, if
well enough to leave the hos
pital, is taken to the police,
station for an interview.
"Every little bit counts in a
rape investigation," Steinman
said, explaining the need for
repeated accounts of the story.
The victim is shown mug shots
and a composite is made from
the victim's description of her
assailant. The victim also is
asked to make a sworn state
ment which verifies that her
account of the rape is true, she
said. ;
According to Steinman, off!-,
cials a. 3 careful in advising j
places for victims to go for
counseling. Some victims may
wait two or three weeks before
reporting a rape, but Steinman
said these cases are just as much
a rape as those which are
reported immediately.
Women may not report a rape
for several reasons. "Society
looks upon a rape victim and
says she caused it. This is not so;
the victim is passive and has
little control over the situation.
Also, a lot of victims drop out
when they have to testify in
court," Steinman said.
Rapes may occur at any time
of day or night, according to
Steinman. To avoid becoming a
rape victim, women should be
aware of what's going on around i
them. She advises women to lock
doors and get into the habit of ,
looking in the back seat of the
car before entering.
Steinman strongly discour
ages hitchhiking and walking!

alone at night. If approached by
a suspicious person, a woman
should say something unex
pected, she said.
. "In most cases the assailant is
known to the victim," Steinman
said. "He may be a family
friend, relative or neighbor, but
is usually someone who knows
the victim."
No male under the age of 18
can be convicted of rape in
Nebraska, she said. Minors are
referred to juvenile court. Rap
ists of legal age in Nebraska may
be given three to fifty years in
prison depending upon the
judge and the jury's discretion.
Steinman is a member of the
Lincoln Coalition Against Rape,
which will begin full operation
on Oct. 1. The group is taking
steps to make women more
aware of rape and how it can be
avoided. Rape workshops are
part of the community education
program. Long-term counseling
services are being made availa
ble and a rape telephone line is
being opened for on-the-spot
counseling, Steinman said.
The coalition hopes to initiate
the use of the term "assault",
thereby including men in their
purpose.
