The author, a long-time sociology professor in the area of rural criminology, makes a great point in this article - about the misperception that women are safer in small towns and rural areas, when actually the truth may be just the opposite. theconversation.com/rural-women-...
Rural women are at a higher risk of violence − and less likely to get help
Research shows that rural women in the US are more likely to be killed by their current or former male partners compared to their urban and suburban counterparts.

Rape is often described as unwanted, forced or non-consensual 'sex'. But sex and rape are two very different things. If there is no consent, then it's not sex, it's rape – no matter the circumstances.
