  • Title: The scope of sexual victimization in Germany.
    Author: Kury H, Chouaf S, Obergfell-Fuchs J, Woessner G.
    Journal: J Interpers Violence; 2004 May; 19(5):589-602. PubMed ID: 15104863.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the sexual victimization of 309 female students in Germany. The results indicate that the majority of the subjects have been victims of minor offenses and that a minority of subjects was severely victimized. As to the relation of victim and perpetrator, the milder offenses are more likely to be committed by strangers. In contrast, the most serious offenses are more likely to be committed by perpetrators with a close relation to the victim. It was also investigated whether the perception of being victimized correlates with the subjects' gender-role orientation and their health problems.
