Further objectives were to use the findings to\r\nassist in the design of effective intervention methods by sexual\r\nassault treatment centers and community education projects, and to\r\npresent significant findings useful for community policing and other\r\ncriminal justice initiatives. Survey data for this study were\r\ncollected from female victims of nonincestuous sexual assault\r\nincidents who were at least 14 years of age and sought treatment\r\n(within one year of being assaulted) from the Sex Abuse Treatment\r\nCenter (SATC) in Honolulu, Hawaii, during 1987-1992. Data were\r\ncollected on two types of victims: (1) immediate treatment seekers,\r\nwho sought treatment within 72 hours of an assault incident, and (2)\r\ndelayed treatment seekers, who sought treatment 72 hours or longer\r\nafter an assault incident. Demographic variables for the victims\r\ninclude age at the time of the assault, marital status, employment\r\nstatus, educational level, and race and ethnicity. Other variables\r\ninclude where the attack took place, the victim's relationship to the\r\nassailant, the number of assailants, and whether the assailant(s) used\r\nthreats, force, or a weapon, or injured or drugged the\r\nvictim. Additional variables cover whether the victim attempted to get\r\naway, resisted physically, yelled, and/or reported the incident to the\r\npolice, how the victim learned about the Sex Abuse Treatment Center,\r\nwhether the victim was a tourist, in the military, or a resident of\r\nthe island, the number of days between the assault and the interview,\r\nand a self-reported trauma Sexual Assault Symptom Scale measure.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03051.v1", "title": "Reporting Sexual Assault to the Police in Honolulu, Hawaii, 1987-1992"}], "identifier": "2968", "issued": "2000-12-04T00:00:00", "keyword": ["communities", "crime reporting", "decision making", "sex offenses", "sexual assault", "treatment programs", "victim services", "victims", "women"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2005-11-04T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Reporting Sexual Assault to the Police in Honolulu, Hawaii, 1987-1992"}
