This article provides a comprehensive overview of the reported patterns of sexual violence against women and children in China. It reviews the prevalence of and risk factors for various types of sexual violence and discusses community knowledge and perceptions of these violent acts. It also critically examines three major problems of sexual violence research in China. First, the diversity of findings and study methods reported by surveys and criminal reports reflects the problems in obtaining accurate figures on the scope of the problem. Second, precautions must be taken in reading studies on Chinese culture-specific risk factors for domestic violence. Third, the study of culture-specific factors should not focus solely on cultural factors in a vacuum but rather, should examine traditional culture in the context of modern societies and consensus international standards of human rights. Recommendations for future research are also discussed.
本文全面概述了中国针对妇女和儿童的性暴力报告模式。它回顾了各类性暴力的发生率和风险因素，并讨论了社区对这些暴力行为的认知。它还批判性地审视了中国性暴力研究的三个主要问题。第一，调查和犯罪报告所呈现的结果和研究方法的多样性，反映出在获取关于该问题范围的准确数据方面存在问题。第二，在解读关于中国家庭暴力特定文化风险因素的研究时必须谨慎。第三，对特定文化因素的研究不应仅孤立地关注文化因素，而应在现代社会背景以及国际人权共识标准的框架下审视传统文化。文中还讨论了对未来研究的建议。
