Article Abstract
This study explored patterns of intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and perpetration in 150 sexual minority women (SMW): 25.3% had been sexually victimized, 34% physically victimized, 76% psychologically victimized, and 29.3% suffered an IPV-related injury. A latent class analysis found four behavioral patterns: (1) minor-only psychological perpetration and victimization; (2) no IPV; (3) minor-severe psychological, physical assault, and injury victimization, and minor-only psychological, physical, and injury perpetration; and (4) severe psychological, sexual, physical assault, and injury victimization and perpetration. Individuals who experienced and/or perpetrated all types experienced the greatest heterosexism at work, school, and in other contexts.

Rape Myth Acceptance in the Criminal Justice System: Do Criminal Justice Decision-Makers Endorse Rape Myths?

Rape myths, or false beliefs about rape and sexual assault, held by professionals in the American Criminal Justice System have contributed to reduced rates of sexual offense case reporting, biased investigative procedures, and the nonprosecution of offenders. Thus, Rape Myth Acceptance (RMA) has been considered by scholars to be a direct contributor to the under-sentencing or non-sentencing of perpetrators of sexual assault and rape. Prior research on RMA in the American Criminal Justice System has disproportionately focused on criminal justice students and law enforcement professionals.

Advances in digital technologies provide new opportunities for harm, including sexualized deepfake abuse-the non-consensual creation, distribution, or threat to create/distribute an image or video of another person that had been altered in a nude or sexual way. Since 2017, there has been a proliferation of shared open-source technologies to facilitate deepfake creation and dissemination, and a corresponding increase in cases of sexualized deepfake abuse. There is a substantive risk that the increased accessibility of easy-to-use tools, the normalization of non-consensually sexualizing others, and the minimization of harms experienced by those who have their images created and/or shared may impact prevention and response efforts.
