Race and Sexual Offense Histories: A Video Research Summary
In this video I summarize a research article that dissects the role the race of the offender plays in detected and undetected victims of sexual offenders. It delves into the sexual offense histories of both black and white men, regarding:
- Types of sexual offenses committed
- Characteristics of the identified victims
- Differences in the rate of victims resulting in formal sanctions versus those that went undetected
Struggling with excessive sexual thoughts, urges, or activities that are causing you distress? Take the free, online Sexual Symptom Assessment Scale (SSAS) and get a link to share with your therapist.
The study also delves into Cultural Betrayal Trauma Theory (CBTT). This theory explains how systemic racism oppresses Black girls and women from reporting sexual abuse committed by Black boys or men. CBTT also helps to explain why sexual offense histories are so often under-reported in minority communities.
