Violación de un Sueño / Rape in the Fields
And they found that in the vast fields and orchards of today’s agribusiness, it’s easy for a rapist to stalk his victims — who are often, but not always, undocumented women who dare not denounce their attackers for fear they’ll be deported.
This is in the nature of this crime, to stalk the vulnerable more than the strong.
This is one of the problems natural to having a large underground economy, lots of vulnerability and people who dare not ask the law for help.
If these women were protected by the police their rapists might be more often successfully prosecuted and taken out of circulation.
If these women were better armed, their rapists might more often be injured and taken out of circulation.
Aaaaand neither of these solutions seems likely to happen soon.
