本文认为，性侵犯可能会作为一个主要的妇女犯罪，加剧了他们对其他受害者的恐惧。从全国成年人调查的恐惧和感知的受害风险的措施被用来检查阴影假设在九个独立的罪行。对性侵犯的恐惧大大增加了对个人犯罪恐惧的解释方差，消除或扭转了性别差异。对性侵犯的恐惧也会影响对财产犯罪的恐惧，但其影响小于对个人犯罪的恐惧。结果表明，妇女更害怕所有的受害行为，但这主要是由于她们认为这类犯罪的风险以及她们在日常生活中害怕强奸
This article considers the thesis that sexual assault may operate as a master offense among women, heightening their fear of other victimizations. Measures of fear and perceived risk of victimization from a national survey of adults are used to examine the shadow hypothesis across nine separate offenses. Fear of sexual assault substantially increases the explained variance in fear of personal crime, eliminating or reversing the gender difference. Fear of sexual assault also influences fear of property offenses, but its effect is smaller than for personal crimes. The results show that women are more afraid of all victimizations, but this is principally due to their perceived risk of such offenses and their fear of rape in everyday life
