Abstract

There is little research on sexual harassment among younger adolescents or on how rates vary by gender and other student/school characteristics. Drawing on data from 50 English schools, we explored the prevalence and patterning of victimization in the past year among students aged 12-13. Of 7,060 participants, almost a tenth had experienced sexual harassment. Girls, non-binary students, and sexual-minority students reported the highest rates. Student commitment to school was associated with reduced victimization, particularly among straight students and in higher-attaining schools. Sexual harassment is a priority area for intervention, particularly for students facing the highest risk.

青少年早期的性骚扰：来自英格兰中学横断面调查的结果。

很少有关于青少年性骚扰的研究，也很少有关于性骚扰率如何因性别和其他学生/学校特征而变化的研究。根据50所英国学校的数据，我们探讨了过去一年12-13岁学生受害的普遍程度和模式。在7060名参与者中，近十分之一的人经历过性骚扰。女孩、非二元性别学生和性少数学生的比例最高。学生对学校的投入与减少受害有关，特别是在直学生和高等学校中。性骚扰是干预的优先领域，特别是对面临最高风险的学生。
