title: The crisis of rape: a community response.
abstract: While rape has consistently been viewed as both a personal and familial crisis, there is little evidence that its impact on the community at large has been addressed. The authors describe a program incorporating mental health education and crisis intervention strategies developed in response to a community's reaction to several sexual assaults of children. Program design and implications for replication are also discussed.
