The unique circumstances of a sexual assault can contribute to the impact on a community and a victim. For example, a rape occurring in a low-crime area might shock the community, whereas that same act in a high-crime area might not. A date rape and a stranger rape may also have different psychological implications for the victim. Due to these impacts, the circumstances of the assault factor greatly into the type of community resources that will be effective in recovery.
