Most sexual assault victims make the conscious decision to report to the police. Concerns about the police appear to be prominent in victims' decision-making, but we do not know specifically what these concerns entail, and therefore cannot address them. A qualitative inquiry is needed to understand perceptions of the police in reporting decisions, from the voices of victims themselves. Participants ( = 175) responded to an open-ended survey question about their decision to not report to the police following sexual victimization. Analyses revealed that police perceptions shaped the decision to not report for 36% ( = 63) of participants. Nonreporting decisions related to the police fell into two themes: concerns of police treatment and previous/vicarious negative experiences with the police. We include recommendations for police and a call for alternative reporting options.
大多数性侵犯受害者会有意识地决定向警方报案。受害者在做决定时似乎非常担心警察，但我们并不知道这些担忧具体是什么，因此无法解决这些担忧。为了了解受害者在报案决定中对警察的看法，需要进行定性研究，倾听受害者自己的声音。参与者（=175）对一项关于他们在遭受性侵犯后决定不向警方报案的开放式调查问题做出了回应。分析显示，36%（=63）的参与者因对警察的看法而决定不报案。不报案的决定与警察有关，分为两个主题：对警察处理方式的担忧，以及以前/间接的对警察的负面经历。我们提出了一些警察相关的建议，并呼吁提供其他报案选择。
