Abstract

Until 1994, men were not recognized legally as victims of rape in England and Wales. This article explores the history of male survivors of rape there, establishing the uneven patchwork of support services available to them prior to 1994. It argues that a growing psychiatric literature which studied male survivors of sexual violence was a major factor in convincing lawmakers to include men as potential victims of rape in updated sexual offence legislation. Other medical professionals played key roles in bringing male survivors to police attention, but psychiatric research was most influential in changing the policy agenda in this arena.

男性强奸:二十世纪末英格兰和威尔士的幸存者、支持和法律。
直到 1994 年,英格兰和威尔士在法律上都不承认男性是强奸受害者。本文探讨了当地男性强奸幸存者的历史,确定了 1994 年之前为他们提供的不均衡的零散支持服务。文章认为,研究性暴力男性幸存者的精神病学文献日益增多,这是说服立法者将男性作为潜在的强奸受害者纳入更新的性犯罪立法的主要因素。其他医疗专业人员在促使警方关注男性幸存者方面发挥了关键作用,但精神病学研究在改变这一领域的政策议程方面最具影响力。
