Rape crisis centers (RCCs) were established during the mainstream anti-rape movement in the United States during the 1970s. In the decades that followed, RCCs began to depend on governmental grants to stay open, shifting the antagonistic relationship that existed between many RCCs and state structures. Previous research has conceptualized this RCC institutionalization as a reluctant concession requisite to the continuation of victim services and the anti-rape movement. This article draws upon three years of ethnographic research and 40 interviews at a United States RCC to illustrate how institutionalization facilitated one RCC’s complicity in the expansion of the carceral state. I propose the transformation of this RCC illuminates a sexual assault response “bait and switch” that serves carceral agendas. I reach this conclusion using data drawn from three themes: (1) the outsourcing of the hotline and conversion to criminal-legal victim services, (2) criminal-legal integration that did not expand the influence of the RCC, and (3) the facilitation of the criminalization of victims through a process of net widening. Building from previous research, these findings document the result of criminal-legal integration at one RCC: the expansion of the carceral state into the center, to the detriment of victims and efforts to end sexual assault.

性侵犯反应的“诱饵和开关”：在强奸危机中心扩大监禁权力

强奸危机中心 (RCC) 是在 1970 年代美国主流反强奸运动期间建立的。在接下来的几十年里，RCC 开始依赖政府拨款来保持开放，改变了许多 RCC 与国家结构之间存在的对立关系。先前的研究将这种 RCC 制度化概念化为继续受害者服务和反强奸运动所必需的不情愿让步。本文利用三年的人种学研究和在美国 RCC 的 40 次访谈来说明制度化如何促进一个 RCC 参与监狱国家扩张。我建议这个 RCC 的转变阐明了服务于监狱议程的性侵犯反应“诱饵和转换”。我通过三个主题得出的数据得出这个结论：（1）热线外包和转为刑法受害人服务；（2）刑法一体化并未扩大援救协调中心的影响；（3）通过扩大净额的过程促进对受害者的刑事定罪。基于先前的研究，这些发现记录了一个 RCC 的刑事与法律整合的结果：监狱状态扩展到中心，损害受害者和结束性侵犯的努力。
