Letters to the Editor: Rape caused by behaviour of men, not women

One reader suggests gardaí should be allowed to use necessary force when dealing with violent disorder, while another says that elected representatives should be respected, rather than bullied or intimidated 

If the problem of rape is to be solved it must be tackled at source, writes John O'Brien.

The courts seem to be regularly dealing with such cases, which leaves me wondering will this egregious abuse ever let up.
