Abstract

Objective: The present study was designed to provide the first in-depth, academically peer-reviewed assessment of sexual victimization among Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

Method: A representative sample of RCMP (n = 1,324; 76.5% men) completed the self-report survey.

Results: Participants reported a higher overall lifetime history of sexual assault than would be expected for the general population (p < .05). Women participants reported a higher prevalence of lifetime history of sexual assault (p < .05). Participants reported being sexually assaulted during the RCMP Cadet Training Program (CTP; n = 27), with comparable proportions of men and women. Participants reported being sexually assaulted while on duty (n = 168), with a greater proportion of women reporting being sexually assaulted than men (p < .05). Women more often reported being sexually assaulted while on duty by a superior, coworker or peer, or subordinate, whereas men more often reported being sexually assaulted by a civilian. Participants (n = 94) reported being sexually harassed during the CTP and while on duty (n = 282), with a greater proportion of women reporting being sexually harassed during the CTP and while on duty.

Conclusions: RCMP cadets appear to be sexually assaulted and sexually harassed less frequently than Canadian university and military college students, whereas RCMP appear to be sexually assaulted more often while on duty than Canadian men and women in the general population while at work; however, direct comparisons are problematic because of differing frames for questions and time spans. The current results help quantify sexual victimization among RCMP, which can support ongoing and novel prevention and intervention strategies.

加拿大皇家骑警中的性受害者。
目的:本研究旨在对加拿大皇家骑警(RCMP)中的性受害情况进行首次深入的、学术性的同行评审评估:本研究旨在对加拿大皇家骑警(RCMP)中的性受害情况进行首次深入的、经同行评审的学术评估:具有代表性的加拿大皇家骑警样本(n = 1,324; 76.5% 为男性)完成了自我报告调查:结果:参与者报告的一生中遭受性侵犯的总体历史高于一般人群(P < .05)。女性参与者报告的终生性侵犯史发生率更高(p < .05)。参与者报告在参加加拿大皇家骑警学员培训计划(CTP;n = 27)期间受到过性侵犯,男女比例相当。参与者报告在执勤时遭到性侵犯(n = 168),报告遭到性侵犯的女性比例高于男性(p < .05)。女性更常报告在执勤时遭到上级、同事或同级或下属的性侵犯,而男性则更常报告遭到平民的性侵犯。学员(n = 94)报告称,在 CTP 期间和执勤期间(n = 282)受到性骚扰,其中报告在 CTP 期间和执勤期间受到性骚扰的女性比例更高:加拿大皇家骑警学员受到性侵犯和性骚扰的频率似乎低于加拿大大学和军事院校的学生,而加拿大皇家骑警在执勤期间受到性侵犯的频率似乎高于加拿大一般人群中的男性和女性在工作期间受到性侵犯的频率;然而,由于问题的框架和时间跨度不同,直接比较是有问题的。目前的研究结果有助于量化加拿大皇家骑警的性受害情况,从而为正在实施的新型预防和干预策略提供支持。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA,保留所有权利)。
