Overall, when you think about how things have changed, I'm thinking for example something like the crime of rape, there was a much greater stigma in the past against what the person who was raped, what their morals might be and all sorts of speculation about them, and now there seems to be an acknowledgment that this is a crime that is not based on whether or not the victim is a good person.
