Abstract

This study applies rational choice and neutralization theories to examine stalking victims' nonreporting behaviors using data from the National Crime Victimization Survey's Supplemental Victimization Survey. Latent class analysis revealed four subgroups based on rationales for not reporting: denial of stalker's intent (7.4%), rejection of victim identity (18.3%), lack of rationale (53.4%), and denial of serious harm (21.2%). Findings align with Weiss's framework, showing how perceptions of severity and victim-offender relationships influence reporting. Victims stalked by strangers were more likely to seek help. Results highlight the need for risk assessments and tailored interventions to increase reporting among reluctant victims.

跟踪受害者不报告理由的类型学：与求助行为相关的客观测量。

本研究运用理性选择和中和理论，利用国家犯罪受害调查补充受害调查的数据，对跟踪受害者的不报告行为进行了研究。潜在类别分析显示了四个基于不报告理由的亚组：否认跟踪者的意图（7.4%），拒绝受害者身份（18.3%），缺乏理由（53.4%）和否认严重伤害（21.2%）。研究结果与韦斯的框架一致，显示了对严重性和受害者-犯罪者关系的看法如何影响报告。被陌生人跟踪的受害者更有可能寻求帮助。结果强调需要进行风险评估和量身定制的干预措施，以增加不情愿受害者的报告。
