尽管有几项研究调查了女性教养机构中双方自愿的性行为，但很少有关于被监禁女性在狱中遭受性侵的研究。本研究对南方一个大型监狱系统中的436名女性囚犯进行了调查，并探索了人口统计学特征作为性受害预测因素的问题。在样本中的女性中，68.4%的人报告了终身性侵害，17.2%的人报告了在监狱中的性侵害。与之前的研究一致，整个样本中有3.0%的人报告说自己是完成的监狱强奸的受害者。重要的人口统计学预测因素被揭示为终身性受害，而不是狱中性受害。对基于研究结果的矫正政策的含义进行了讨论。
Although several studies have examined consensual sexual activity in female correctional institutions, there has been little research conducted on in-prison sexual assault among incarcerated females. The present study examines 436 female inmates in a large Southern prison system and explores demographic characteristics as predictors of sexual victimization. Of the women in the sample, 68.4% reported lifetime sexual victimization, and 17.2% reported in-prison sexual victimization. Consistent with previous research, 3.0% of the entire sample reported being the victim of a completed prison rape. Significant demographic predictors were revealed for lifetime sexual victimization but not for in-prison sexual victimization. Implications for correctional policy based on research findings are discussed.
