Document Summary
Can be male or female perpetrated or involve victims of either gender: more likely to be male perpetrated against female victim though. Most likely to be perpetrated by people the victim knows rather than strangers. Sexual assault statutes = are now gender + relationship neutral. Ucr and national incident-based reporting system (nibrs) only victimizations that police find out through victim or someone else. Large dark figure = estimates of how many victims or who is more likely to be victimized are problematic. Most reliable information received from = social scientific surveys. To avoid underreporting, ask more behaviourally specific questions. National intimate partner and sexual violence survey (nisvs: more behavioural specific questions which leads to higher estimates obtained. Nisvs = tells respondents that it is a survey about issues of health and relationships. Ncvs = survey about crime: this can also lead to changes in how people respond. Demographic factors related to victimization from the nisvs.
