The Me Too Movement has reshaped cultural awareness about sexual violence but little is known about how this shift may have coincided with changes in the reporting of sexual violence. The current study is the first to use the National Crime Victimization Survey to compare pre-#MeToo and post-#MeToo reports of sexual violence across three different blocks of time (Time 1: 2014–2015; Time 2: October 2017–September 2019; Time 3: October 2019–September 2021). Comparisons include prevalence rates of overall sexual violence, self-reports of sexual violence, official police reports of sexual violence, and situational characteristics of sexual violence (offender was a stranger, victim injury, victim services used). We also examine gender (women/men) and racial (White women/non-White women) differences in sexual violence reporting. Using formal comparisons, we find a significant increase in the rates of overall sexual violence as well as self-reports and stranger-offender reports of sexual violence between the pre- (Time 1) and the first post-#MeToo time point (Time 2). However, these increases are no longer evident in Time 3. In addition, the changes between the pre- (Time 1) and the first post-#MeToo time point (Time 2) are driven primarily by White women’s reporting of sexual violence, and we find no significant changes in the rates of sexual violence experienced by men nor non-White women during these time periods.

全国犯罪受害调查中的#MeToo 和性暴力报告

Me Too 运动重塑了人们对性暴力的文化意识，但人们对这种转变如何与性暴力报道的变化同时发生却知之甚少。目前的研究首次使用国家犯罪受害调查来比较#MeToo之前和#MeToo之后三个不同时间段的性暴力报告（时间1：2014年至2015年；时间2：2017年10月至2019年9月） ；时间3：2019年10月-2021年9月）。比较包括整体性暴力的发生率、性暴力的自我报告、警方关于性暴力的官方报告以及性暴力的情境特征（犯罪者是陌生人、受害者受伤、使用的受害者服务）。我们还研究性暴力报告中的性别（女性/男性）和种族（白人女性/非白人女性）差异。通过正式比较，我们发现，在 #MeToo 运动之前（时间 1）和#MeToo 运动之后的第一个时间点（时间 2）之间，总体性暴力以及自我报告和陌生人犯罪者报告性暴力的发生率显着增加。 ）。然而，这些增长在时间 3 中不再明显。此外，前（时间 1）和第一个#MeToo 后时间点（时间 2）之间的变化主要是由白人妇女报告性暴力所驱动的，并且我们发现，在这些时间段内，男性和非白人女性遭受性暴力的比率没有显着变化。
