Abstract

U.S. Navy recruits (n = 3,776) were surveyed for premilitary histories of adult sexual assault. They completed a survey designed to estimate rates for experiences as victims (women) and perpetrators (men) of attempted and completed rape since the age of 14. The results show that 45.5% of the women reported being the victim of attempted (9.4%) or completed rape (36.1%) before entering the Navy. Male recruits' self-reports indicated that 14.8% admitted perpetrating attempted (3.5%) or completed rape (11.3%) before entering the Navy. A high percentage of recruits in this study reported histories of sexual assault. Female victims of sexual assault are at high risk of incurring somatic and/or psychological problems that require treatment by health care professionals. Male perpetrators of sexual assault are at high risk of repeating their behavior. The results of this study suggest that it may be cost-effective to develop treatment education, and prevention programs for military recruits.

摘要

对3776名美国海军新兵进行了关于成年人性侵犯军事前史的调查。他们完成了一项旨在估计自14岁以来作为未遂和既遂强奸受害者（女性）和实施者（男性）经历发生率的调查。结果显示，45.5%的女性报告在加入海军之前曾是未遂强奸（9.4%）或既遂强奸（36.1%）的受害者。男性新兵的自我报告表明，14.8%的人承认在加入海军之前曾实施未遂强奸（3.5%）或既遂强奸（11.3%）。本研究中很大比例的新兵报告有性侵犯史。性侵犯的女性受害者极有可能出现需要医护专业人员治疗的躯体和/或心理问题。性侵犯的男性实施者极有可能再次实施此类行为。本研究结果表明，为新兵制定治疗、教育和预防方案可能具有成本效益。
