Past research applying Donald Black's theory of the behavior of law to sexual assault case processing has focused on victim decisions to report the crime to the police. This study builds on and extends prior research by examining the next stage of legal mobilization (i.e., arrest). Using secondary data on 310 cases from the 1982-2012 Sexual Assault Kit Backlog Study in Los Angeles, California, the current study explores the effects of victim, offender, and case characteristics on arrest. The results suggest limited support for the theory in this victimization context. Implications for theory, research, and criminal justice practice are discussed.
过去应用唐纳德·布莱克（Donald Black）的法律行为理论研究性侵犯案件处理的研究主要集中在受害者向警方报案的决定上。本研究通过检验法律动员的下一个阶段（即逮捕），在前人的研究基础上进行了扩展。本研究使用了加利福尼亚州洛杉矶市 1982 年至 2012 年性侵犯工具包积压研究中的 310 个案例的二手数据，探讨了受害者、犯罪者和案件特征对逮捕的影响。结果表明，该理论在这种受害背景下的支持有限。讨论了对理论、研究和刑事司法实践的影响。
