The Sexual Experiences Survey (SES) is designed to identify victims of sexual assault, including ones whose experiences meet the Ohio legal definitions (Ohio Revised Code, 1980) for rape or attempted rape (Koss, Gidycz, and Wisniewski, 1987). Ratings from 156 Ohio prosecuting attorneys indicate that three of the five items used to identify victims of rape or attempted rape as a result of actual or threatened force are commensurate with the sex offense statutes for these acts, while the two questions describing attempted and completed rape experiences involving the use of drugs and alcohol are not. The ratings could not be accounted for by demographic, work experience, or rape myth acceptance variables. Two additional items not intended to measure specific code violations were found to describe felony sex offenses. The implications of the current findings for identifying sexual assault victims are discussed.
性经历调查(SES)旨在识别性侵犯受害者,包括那些经历符合俄亥俄州法律对强奸或强奸未遂的定义(《俄亥俄州修订法典》,1980年)的人(科斯、吉迪茨和维斯涅夫斯基,1987年)。156名俄亥俄州检察官的评级表明,用于识别因实际或威胁使用武力而导致的强奸或强奸未遂受害者的五项指标中,有三项与这些行为的性犯罪法规相符,而描述涉及使用毒品和酒精的强奸未遂和既遂经历的两个问题则不相符。这些评级无法通过人口统计学、工作经历或对强奸谬见的接受程度等变量来解释。另外两个并非用于衡量具体违法行为的指标被发现描述了重罪性犯罪。本文讨论了当前研究结果对识别性侵犯受害者的影响。
