Sexual assaults are underreported to the police, even though this crime affects one in four college women. Using a vignette design, this study fills a gap in the literature by examining the influence of prior police perceptions, procedurally unjust treatment, and the sex of the responding officer on college women's likelihood to report sexual assault. Results indicate positive prior police perceptions significantly increase students' perceived likelihood to report sexual victimization. Even when controlling for prior perceptions, procedurally unfair treatment significantly decreases the likelihood of future victimization reporting. Responding officer sex does not affect students' decision to report.
性侵犯向警方报案的情况未得到充分反映，尽管这种犯罪影响到四分之一的大学女生。本研究采用vignette设计，通过考察警方先前的看法、程序上的不公正对待以及回应警官的性别对大学女生举报性侵犯可能性的影响，填补了文献中的空白。结果表明，警方先前的积极看法显著增加了学生举报性侵害行为的感知可能性。即使在控制了先前的看法之后，程序上的不公平对待也会显著降低未来举报侵害行为的可能性。回应警官的性别不会影响学生的举报决定。
