摘要

先前的研究已经调查了受害者抵抗和攻击类型(企图或完成)对成人强奸案件的看法的影响。然而,研究尚未检验这些发现是否适用于儿童强奸案件的判决,也没有研究关注对儿童强奸案件中受害者和被告特征的看法如何有助于法律决策。在本研究中,采用2(企图或已完成的性侵犯)× 3(受害者抵抗:仅言语,言语有外界干扰或身体)× 2(参与者性行为)的参与者间设计来评估涉及儿童强奸的假想刑事案件的法律决策,该案件涉及一名6岁的女性受害者和一名30岁的男性犯罪者。335名参与者阅读了一份刑事审判摘要,并回答了有关审判、受害者和被告的问题。结果显示:(a)当受害者身体抵抗时,与口头抵抗相比,做出了更多的有罪判决;(b)当受害者身体抵抗时,对受害者可信度和被告负面看法的综合因素给出了更高的评级,导致更多的有罪判决;(c)女性参与者比男性参与者更有可能做出有罪判决。言语干扰(如敲门)和言语干扰在判决上没有差异,攻击类型也没有导致判决的差异。提供了对儿童性侵犯案件和法庭的影响,以及对从业人员的影响。

Impacts of Victim Resistance and Type of Assault on Legal Decision-Making in Child Sexual Assault.

Prior studies have examined the effects of victim resistance and type of assault (attempted or completed) on perceptions of adult rape cases. However, research has not yet tested whether these findings extend to verdicts rendered in child rape cases, nor has research focused on how perceptions of victim and defendant characteristics in child rape cases may contribute to legal decision-making. In the present study, a 2 (attempted or completed sexual assault) x 3 (victim resistance: verbal-only, verbal with outside interruption, or physical) x 2 (participant sex) between-participant design was used to assess legal decision-making involving a hypothetical criminal case of child rape, with a six-year-old female victim and a 30-year-old male perpetrator. Three-hundred and thirty-five participants read a criminal trial summary and answered questions about the trial, the victim, and the defendant. Results revealed that: (a) when a victim physically resisted, compared to verbally resisted, more guilty judgments were rendered, (b) when the victim physically resisted, higher ratings for aggregated factors for Victim Credibility and Negative Perceptions of the Defendant were given, leading to more guilty verdicts, and (c) female participants were more likely than male participants to render a guilty verdict. No differences in verdict rendered between the verbal with interruption (e.g., knocking on door) and verbal-only conditions were found, nor did type of assault lead to differences in verdict rendered. Implications for child sexual assault cases and the courtroom, as well as implications for practitioners, are provided.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Child Sexual Abuse is interdisciplinary and provides an essential interface for researchers, academicians, attorneys, clinicians, and practitioners. The journal advocates for increased networking in the sexual abuse field, greater dissemination of information and research, a higher priority for this international epidemic, and development of effective assessment, intervention, and prevention programs. Divided into sections to provide clear information, the journal covers research issues, clinical issues, legal issues, prevention programs, case studies, and brief reports, focusing on three subject groups - child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse or incest, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse or incest, and sexual abuse or incest offenders.
