While the Prison Rape Elimination Act focuses on sexual victimization in correctional settings, staff-perpetrated sexual misconduct against women under community-based correctional supervision has received little attention. This study explored women’s experiences of sexual victimization by correctional staff while on parole and used a case study approach to examine sexual victimization incidents experienced by ten women. Women described how staff’s misuse of power permeated the abuse tactics. Officers used their status to gain access to women, applied individualized tactics with promises and threats, and controlled when the abuse ended. Practices and policies are needed to build safety for women under community-based correctional supervision.

虽然《消除监狱强奸法》侧重于惩教场所中的性侵害，但在社区惩教监督下工作人员对妇女犯下的不当性行为却很少受到关注。本研究探讨了女性在假释期间受到惩教人员性侵害的经历，并使用案例研究方法来检查十名女性所经历的性侵害事件。女性描述了员工滥用权力如何渗透到滥用策略中。官员们利用自己的身份接触女性，采用个性化的策略，承诺和威胁，并控制虐待结束的时间。需要实践和政策来在社区惩教监督下为妇女建立安全。
