Research has identified the necessity of sexual assault victims to label their experience as criminal to initiate reporting. However, barriers exist in labeling uninvited sexual contact as criminal. This study examined college students’ assessments of whether eight nonconsensual behaviors met the legal definition of sexual assault, and whether such behaviors should be reported to police. Results indicated students acknowledged the nonconsensual behaviors as criminal; however, gaps were identified between awareness that the acts were criminal and willingness to report to police. Findings demonstrate a need for continued efforts for sexual assault prevention among college students.

打电话:大学生的法律意识和警察对性侵犯的假设激活

研究已经确定性侵犯受害者有必要将他们的经历标记为犯罪以发起报告。然而,在将不请自来的性接触标记为犯罪方面存在障碍。这项研究检查了大学生对八种非自愿行为是否符合性侵犯的法律定义以及是否应向警方报告此类行为的评估。结果表明,学生承认非自愿行为是犯罪行为;然而,在对这些行为是犯罪行为的认识与向警方报案的意愿之间发现了差距。调查结果表明,需要继续努力在大学生中预防性侵犯。
