有关犯罪受害经历的问卷数据收集自萨克拉门托地区 2,259 名女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋者(其中 1,170 名女性和 1,089 名男性)。大约 1/5 的女性和 1/4 的男性曾因其成年性取向而遭受过伤害。与无偏见犯罪相比,向警方举报仇恨犯罪的可能性较小。与其他近期犯罪受害者相比,男女同性恋仇恨犯罪幸存者表现出明显更多的抑郁、愤怒、焦虑和创伤后应激症状。与无偏见犯罪受害者和非受害者相比,他们还表现出明显更多的与犯罪相关的恐惧和信念,较低的掌控感,以及更多地将个人挫折归因于性偏见。在双性恋者中没有观察到可比较的差异。研究结果强调了在临床环境和公共政策中认识仇恨犯罪幸存者特殊需求的重要性。(PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2016 APA,保留所有权利)
Questionnaire data about criminal victimization experiences were collected from 2,259 Sacramento-area lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals (N= 1,170 women and 1,089 men). Approximately 1/5 of the women and 1/4 of the men had experienced victimization because of their adult sexual orientation. Hate crimes were less likely than nonbias crimes to have been reported to police. Compared with other recent crime victims, lesbian and gay hate-crime survivors manifested significantly more symptoms of depression, anger, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress. They also displayed significantly more crime-related fears and beliefs, lower sense of mastery, and more attributions of their personal setbacks to sexual prejudice than did nonbias crime victims and nonvictims. Comparable differences were not observed among bisexuals. The findings highlight the importance of recognizing hate-crime survivors' special needs in clinical settings and in public policy.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
