Abstract

Existing research has identified various reasons most sexual assault victims do not seek help. There remains a need, however, to highlight Black women’s experiences to better understand and adequately meet their needs when they seek help. This project extends existing bodies of knowledge by centering Black women, situating their experiences within a Black feminist framework, and evaluating their experiences as they seek help to understand factors that shape their reporting decisions. Findings suggest that as Black women seek medical help, they consider culture-specific and real rape factors during the police reporting decision. Key findings, implications, and policy recommendations are discussed.

性侵后的决策：以黑人女性的经历为中心

现有研究已经确定了大多数性侵受害者不寻求帮助的各种原因。然而，仍然需要强调黑人女性的经历，以便在寻求帮助时更好地理解并充分满足她们的需求。该项目以黑人女性为中心，将她们的经历置于黑人女权主义框架内，并在她们寻求帮助时评估她们的经历，以了解影响她们报告决策的因素，从而扩展了现有的知识体系。调查结果表明，当黑人女性寻求医疗帮助时，她们在警方报告决定时会考虑到特定文化和真实的强奸因素。讨论了主要发现、影响和政策建议。

期刊介绍： The main aim of Feminist Criminology is to focus on research related to women, girls and crime. The scope includes research on women working in the criminal justice profession, women as offenders and how they are dealt with in the criminal justice system, women as victims, and theories and tests of theories related to women and crime. The feminist critique of criminology incorporates a perspective that the paths to crime differ for males and females, thus research that uses sex as a control variable often fails to illuminate the factors that predict female criminality. This journal will highlight research that takes a perspective designed to demonstrate the gendered nature of crime and responses to crime.
