摘要

尽管已经对青少年性侵犯的风险和影响进行了研究，但我们对青少年性攻击以及法律如何讨论受害者的认识存在差距。这项工作的目的是对美利坚合众国的青少年性侵法规进行系统总结。为了实现这一目标，对美利坚合众国的性侵犯和同意州法律进行了内容分析。出现了四个主题，包括试图（1）将青少年性侵受害概念化的法律，（2）为青少年性侵案件提供证据标准，（3）评估青少年性侵的严重性和惩罚，以及（4）为遭受性侵害的青少年提供服务的法律。在这些主题中，各州的立法不一致。然而，根据这些调查结果，我们鼓励立法机构在其法律中提供更具体的内容，重新评估这一现象的严重性，并对儿童性侵受害者表示更大的支持。

Victimization in Juvenile Sexual Assault Legislation: A Critical Content Analysis of State Laws in the United States of America

Although research has been conducted on the risks and effects of juvenile sexual assault, there is a gap in our knowledge surrounding juvenile sexual assault and how the law discusses victims. The goal of this endeavor is to provide a systematic summary of juvenile sexual assault statutes in the United States of America. In pursuit of this objective, a content analysis of the sexual assault and consent state laws of the United States of America was performed. Four themes emerged, including laws that sought to (1) conceptualize juvenile sexual assault victimization, (2) offer evidentiary standards in juvenile sexual assault cases, (3) assess the seriousness and punishment of juvenile sexual assault, and (4) provide services for juveniles who have been sexually victimized. Within these themes, legislation was inconsistent from one state to another. From these findings, however, we encourage legislative bodies to offer greater specificity in their laws, re-assess the seriousness of this phenomenon, and express greater support for victims of child sexual assault.
