本文探讨了英格兰和威尔士的性暴力专业服务机构（包括独立性暴力顾问 (ISVA)）在支持强奸和性虐待受害者/幸存者向刑事司法系统 (CJS) 求助方面的参与情况。这项基础研究在英格兰的一个地区进行，包括来自警方和主要性暴力专业服务机构的转介数据、对与警方和专业机构有联系的 15 名性暴力受害者/幸存者的访谈，以及对 14 名性暴力和相关服务从业人员的访谈。我们研究性暴力受害者/幸存者（曾经经历过儿童性虐待、熟人强奸或亲密伴侣虐待背景下的强奸）的复杂需求，他们的需求如何随着时间的推移而变化，以及专业性暴力服务如何满足这些多样化和不断变化的需求。非专业机构，例如法定心理健康服务机构，无法提供类似的有针对性的应对措施。研究发现，专业性暴力服务通过使用灵活、赋能、维持和修复等方法发挥着特别重要的作用。然而，在当前当地服务调试的环境下，这项重要工作很容易丢失，从而对性暴力受害者/幸存者造成极大损害。
This article explores the involvement of specialist sexual violence services, including Independent Sexual Violence Advisers (ISVAs), in supporting victims/survivors of rape and sexual abuse to engage with the criminal justice system (CJS) in England and Wales. The underpinning research, conducted in one area of England, included referral data from the police and key specialist sexual violence services, interviews with 15 victims/survivors of sexual violence in contact with the police and specialist services, and interviews with 14 practitioners from sexual violence and related services. We examine the complex needs of victims/survivors of sexual violence (who have experienced historical child sexual abuse, acquaintance rape or rape in the context of intimate partner abuse), how their needs differ and vary over time, and the ways in which these diverse and changing needs are met by specialist sexual violence services. Non-specialist agencies, such as statutory mental health services, are unable to provide similarly targeted responses. The research found that specialist sexual violence services play particularly crucial roles through the use of approaches that can be characterised as flexible, enabling, holding and mending. However, this important work could easily be lost in the current climate of local service commissioning, to the great detriment of victims/survivors of sexual violence.
