This study uses an intersectional approach to examine the “paradox” that disadvantaged victims often mobilize the police, despite their distrust and lack of confidence in the law. Data from the National Crime Victimization Survey (1994–2016) were analyzed using logistic regression to model the predicted probabilities of police notification by victims of crime. Economic disadvantage, as measured by family poverty and lack of a high school education, increased the probability that females reported their victimization to the police, but decreased the likelihood that males did so. Economically disadvantaged black females had the highest probability of reporting, while economically disadvantaged black and Hispanic males had the lowest. Examining the intersectional differences across social groups shows that reporting behavior is not just a function of one attribute but rather is a function of multiple identities and structural inequalities.

检查犯罪举报的悖论:弱势受害者更有可能向警方举报吗?

这项研究采用交叉分析法,研究了弱势受害者尽管不信任和对法律缺乏信心但经常动员警察的“悖论”。使用Logistic回归分析了来自全国犯罪受害者调查(1994-2016)的数据,以对犯罪受害者报警的预测概率进行建模。从家庭贫困和缺乏高中教育的角度来看,经济上的劣势增加了女性向警察举报受害情况的可能性,但降低了男性举报受害情况的可能性。经济上处于劣势的黑人女性报告的可能性最高,而经济上处于劣势的黑人和西班牙裔男性的报告率最低。
