Sexual assault rates are increasing with ride-shares. Sexual violence data are often underestimated due to sexual violence cases going unreported and can lead to negative health outcomes. There is no research on the phenomenon of sexual assaults among ride-share users. This manuscript investigates sexual assaults from two ride-share companies and the policies/procedures in place to prevent sexual assaults. The data from two ride-share companies’ previous Safety Reports were compared to see an increase in sexual assaults. The researchers looked at policies and regulations that ride-share companies have to prevent sexual assault. There is a call for research to investigate more in-depth the sexual assaults that have occurred including demographic data, geographic location, global positioning system failure, and the effectiveness of the criminal background checks.

调查乘车共享中性侵犯的影响：呼吁研究

性侵犯率随着乘车共享而增加。由于性暴力案件未被报告，性暴力数据常常被低估，并可能导致负面的健康结果。目前还没有关于拼车用户中性侵犯现象的研究。本手稿调查了两家乘车共享公司的性侵犯行为以及防止性侵犯的政策/程序。对两家乘车共享公司之前的安全报告的数据进行比较后发现，性侵犯事件有所增加。研究人员研究了拼车公司为防止性侵犯而制定的政策和法规。人们呼吁开展研究，更深入地调查已发生的性侵犯事件，包括人口数据、地理位置、全球定位系统故障以及犯罪背景调查的有效性。
