摘要
很少有性侵犯(SA)受害者向警方报案。有关支持者在受害者报案中的作用的研究很少。为了填补这一空白,我们研究了受害者、施暴者、受害事件和支持者的特征与性侵犯护理中心(SACC)受害者报案率之间的关系。逻辑回归结果表明,性侵犯类型、性侵犯与到 SACC 就诊之间的延迟时间、SACC 是否有非正式支持者以及 SACC 所在地与报案率有显著关联。这些研究结果揭示了针对受害者的支持者来改变 SA 受害者报案行为的重要性。
Factors Related to Police Reporting in Sexual Assault Care Centers: Are We Underestimating the Role of Support Persons?
Few victims of sexual assault (SA) report to the police. Research on the role of support persons in victims' reporting is sparse. We address this gap by examining the association of victim, assailant, victimization incident, and support characteristics with reporting rates among victims attending sexual assault care centers (SACCs). Logistic regression results show that type of SA, delay between SA and presentation at SACC, and presence of an informal support person at SACC and SACC site are significantly associated with police reporting. These findings reveal the importance of targeting victims' support persons to alter reporting behavior among SA victims.
