Abstract
The chapter explores data from a representative survey of the Czech public, which posed questions about attitudes towards violence, including rape in an intimate relationship and violent consensual sex. The Czech public differentiates both forms, though there are groups of respondents who do not reject either.
The social determination of these perceptions is relatively weak, and an analysis of the impact of the psychological subsoil did not yield very clear results. The Czech public is somewhat tolerant towards violence, which likely stems from a relatively general cultural paradigm which legitimizes many forms of violence, albeit at varying degrees.
