This study presents an intersectional analysis of beliefs about and experiences of Black women regarding sexual violence, using focus group and survey methods with BIPOC college students ( N = 37). Based on the analysis, we propose a theoretical model of “(un)victimization” that integrates two inequality frames – misogynoir and legal cynicism – applied to sexual assault. Specifically, this model explains the experiences of Black women survivors of sexual violence who simultaneously experience sexual victimization, are denied legitimate victim status, and have reason to distrust legal forms of justice. We theorize the process of (un)victimization enables future sexual assault of Black women.

被视为性暴力的（非）受害者：交叉模型

本研究采用焦点小组和 BIPOC 大学生调查方法（N = 37），对黑人女性对性暴力的看法和经历进行了交叉分析。基于分析，我们提出了一个“（非）受害”理论模型，该模型整合了应用于性侵犯的两个不平等框架——厌女症和法律犬儒主义。具体来说，该模型解释了性暴力黑人女性幸存者的经历，她们同时经历性受害，被剥夺合法受害者身份，并有理由不信任法律形式的正义。我们的理论是，（非）受害过程使得黑人女性未来遭受性侵犯。
