The Forensic Nurse

Although not often talked about, the age of a person can significantly affect their risk of being sexually assaulted. Specific age demographics of women are at higher risk for rape because of their current state of psychological development.  Another important characteristic that needs to be considered is the activities that their particular age demographic partakes in. Meaning younger female children are more likely to be left alone and in contrast the oldest females tend to live alone. College age women are more likely to be out on a date, consuming alcohol, and engaging in riskier behavior in general even though this age demographic has the greatest ability to fight off an attack.

Women in their late late 20’s and into their 30’s and 40’s tend to have more stable relationships and families that tend to engage in less risky behavior. Probably why they get better rates on car insurance too.
