Are men who do certain jobs more prone to be rapist for some reason?

Native American women are known to experience high rates of violence against them in various ways. This info connects their sexual violence to the men working on oil pipelines and other similar jobs. Do these jobs attract bad men?

Quote:
The issue of sexual violence is especially pervasive in Native communities that host “man camps”-- fossil fuel extraction sites with predominantly male workers. Honor the Earth, a Native-led organization working on environmental issues, reports that Native communities in North Dakota experienced a dramatic spike in sexual assault and violence when the population doubled with non-Native fossil fuel project workers...

Second paragraph of the article said:
Quote:
Yesterday was National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, and I want to continue the call in lifting up Native women whose voices have too long gone unheard. The truth is: Native women face a much higher danger in their everyday life than white women. Indigenous women are subject to dramatically higher rates of sexual violence than white women. One in three Native women in the U.S. has been raped in her lifetime. Three in five has been physically assaulted. And the rate of Native women and girls who go missing annually is nothing short of disturbing.
I recognize that there is a high sexual assault/rape among Native American women. However, unless they have surveyed all Native women who have been or say they have been raped that is still alive, I question that 1/3 stat. This is why I often question when they say "1 in [sociopolitical group] will experience this in their lives". That stat could actually be a lot or a lot lower.

Arguably 1 of the longest and most-documented jobs that rapists are attracted to!

I'm hoping that the move toward letting priests get married will cut down on the type of applicant who is prone to join now.

In any case, there needs to be strict rules in place that prevent one-on-one interaction between a priest and a child. This will help to cut down on actual abuse and on any potential false claims. Its a shame things would have had to come to this, but there is a huge cultural problem that exists today.

This problem seems systemic to the institution. I would favor all parents not to risk their children be around a priest at any time, even if not one on one.

In the same manner, no dog can safely be around a coyote, even if not one on one.
