The aim of this study was the analysis of different victimology factors of rape and refutation of classic rape myths and stereotypes about rape victims and perpetrators. Also the aim was analysis of crime place, time of committing the crime, and the time of crime report to the police. Research was conducted on the sample of 62 cases of rape in 2015 and 2016.

(Zagreb), godina 27. (2018), broj 4, str. 365 - 379 Regarding other non victimology factors – crime place, time of committing the crime, and the time of crime report to the police were analyzed. Descriptive analysis of data, precisely analysis of frequencies was conducted. Results showed that rape victims more often are women between nineteen and twenty four years of age and lover level of education. Earlier deviant behavior was detected in more than half of vicitms. 5% of victims were in marriage. More than three quarters of victims knew the perpetrator, which disproves myth regarding rapist being an unknown perpetrator. Regarding the place of crime, myth according which most rapes happens in the dark and abandoned alleys was also disproved. Results showed that one half of rapes happened in private home or apartment, and only one fifth in open space (street, forest paths etc.). Almost two thirds of rapes happened near the place of victims residence and usually on weekend, at night and early morning hours and on summer. 68% of victims have consumed alcohol in the time of crime. Finally, results showed that in the majority of the cases rape is reported to the police in first twenty four hours and that generally number of reports decreases with the passage of time of the act of crime.
