Sexual assault with a weapon or causing bodily harm. Inaccurate official estimates because majority of victims do not report crime. Victimization surveys (anonymous) indicate high rates of victimization. Childsexual abuse girls 17%- stats all over the place. Women face greatest risk from men they know, 80% of cases victim actually knows their attacker. Acute phase (few days to a few weeks) Heightened levels of fear, anxiety and depression. Classification sexual offenders (hands off and hands on) Just there because, engaged in other types of criminal behaviour typically. Directed to both men and women, will use unnecessary force. Primarily focused on women, not impulsive, not worried about sexual fantasies. Goal is to show dominance, degrade and demean the victim. Trying to get rid of their anger, will use more force than necessarily.
