Previous research suggests a link between women's drinking and sexual victimisation; however, little is known about other factors that influence risk and how risks are linked to drinking-in-the-event. We examined how amount of alcohol consumed and peer group factors were associated with whether young women were targeted for sexual aggression on a night out at a bar.
One hundred and fourteen women recruited in small groups in the bar district reported how many drinks they had consumed and were breath-tested at recruitment and on their way home. At recruitment, they also ranked other members of their group in terms of status (e.g. popularity, group influence). In the exit survey, they reported any sexual aggression they experienced that night (i.e. persistence after refusal and unwanted sexual touching).
Over a quarter (28.9%) of women reported persistence only, 5.3% unwanted touching only and 18.7% both. Sexual aggression was associated with consuming more alcohol on the survey night and whether other group members experienced sexual aggression that night. The relationship with amount consumed was stronger for touching than for persistence. Having a lower status position in the group was associated with increased risk of sexual aggression among women who had consumed five or more drinks.
Prevention should address social norms and other factors that encourage men to target specific women for sexual aggression, including perceptions by staff and patrons that intoxicated women are 'easy' or more blameworthy targets and the possible role of women's social status in their peer groups.
先前的研究表明女性饮酒与性侵害之间存在联系；然而，对于影响风险的其他因素以及风险与饮酒事件之间的关联却知之甚少。我们研究了饮酒量和同伴群体因素与年轻女性在酒吧外出一晚时是否成为性侵犯目标之间的关联。
在酒吧区以小组形式招募了114名女性，她们报告了自己喝了多少杯酒，并在招募时以及回家途中接受了呼气测试。在招募时，她们还根据地位（如受欢迎程度、群体影响力）对小组中的其他成员进行了排名。在退出调查中，她们报告了当晚所经历的任何性侵犯（即拒绝后仍纠缠不休以及不必要的性接触）。
超过四分之一（28.9%）的女性仅报告了纠缠不休的情况，5.3%的女性仅报告了不必要的接触，18.7%的女性两者都报告了。性侵犯与调查当晚饮酒量增加以及其他小组成员当晚是否遭受性侵犯有关。对于接触而言，饮酒量与之的关系比对纠缠不休的关系更强。在喝了五杯或更多酒的女性中，在小组中地位较低与性侵犯风险增加有关。
预防措施应针对鼓励男性将特定女性作为性侵犯目标的社会规范和其他因素，包括工作人员和顾客认为醉酒女性“容易上手”或更应受指责的观念，以及女性在同伴群体中的社会地位可能起到的作用。
