This research explores the phenomenon of male rape and how the police recognise it,together with uncovering male rape myths in a local police force. Whilst male raperesearch is expanding, it was found that the police have a lack of knowledge,

understanding, awareness, and specialised training of male rape. Therefore,police officers' attitudes, ideas,views, perspectives, and beliefs on specific topics pertinent to male rape are discussed. This project also seeks to comprehend gender expectations and stereotypes of men, so as to comprehend the prevalence of male rape, the

negligence of male rape, and the under-

reporting/recording of male rape. Moreover,

because male rape is a part of sexual violence, feminist theory is used as a foundation

for this project, since feminism seeks

gender equality. Ultimately, this research

emphasises the need for the police to adequately manage male rape victims and take

male rape seriously, without any negative

attitudes, ideas, views, perspectives, and

beliefs.
