Nils Christie's (1986) ideal victim is said to receive "complete and legitimate status as a victim." Many victims of intimate partner sexual assault (IPSA), are not given this status, resulting in their cases being unfounded. The current study evaluates 16 years of reported IPSA cases (n = 1,558) in a large municipal police department in the midwestern United States. Through multivariate logistic regression this study evaluates which factors lead a reported IPSA case to be unfounded. Further, it examines how the IPSA victim fits into the concept of the ideal victim. The results indicate that several variables representing the ideal victim criteria are influence in unfounding IPSA cases; however, many are the opposite of what might be expected based on Christie's work. Results further indicate that race (victim race, detective race, racial composition of district) has a substantial impact on IPSA cases being unfounded.

揭露理想受害者：克里斯蒂的理想受害者是否解释了警方对亲密伴侣性侵犯的反应？

尼尔斯·克里斯蒂 (Nils Christie) (1986) 的理想受害者据说获得了“完全和合法的受害者身份”。许多亲密伴侣性侵犯 (IPSA) 的受害者没有获得这种地位，导致他们的案件没有根据。目前的研究评估了美国中西部一个大型市政警察部门 16 年报告的 IPSA 案件 (n = 1,558)。通过多变量逻辑回归，本研究评估了哪些因素导致报告的 IPSA 病例没有根据。此外，它检查了 IPSA 受害者如何适应理想受害者的概念。结果表明，代表理想受害者标准的几个变量对毫无根据的 IPSA 案件有影响；然而，许多与克里斯蒂作品的预期相反。结果进一步表明种族（受害者种族，
