“…Research has focused on determining what situational factors increase violence levels within sexual assaults (Carr & VanDeusen, 2004;Coker, Walls, & Johnson, 1998;Hartwick, Desmarais, & Hennig, 2007;Porter & Alison, 2006;Scott & Beaman, 2004;Weaver, Wittekind, Huff-Corzine, Corzine, Petee, & Jarvis, 2004;Wilcox, Jordan, & Pritchard, 2006), but most studies give no significant consideration to how this relates to victim resistance. However, as discussed previously, Ullman has determined that particular situational and crime factors influence the efficacy of resistance (Ullman & Knight, 1993) but that, in general, the likelihood of victim injury and rape completion outcomes is reduced when the victim resists to the greatest extent possible.…”

“…Overall, the presence of a weapon has been found to significantly increase victim injury and violence levels, as well as the proportion of completed rapes (Coker et al, 1998;Porter & Alison, 2006;Ullman, 2007b;Ullman & Knight, 1993;Weaver et al, 2004). The use of alcohol or drugs has been reported to increase the level of violence and likelihood of rape completion, effects potentially due to reduced victim resistance (Carr & Vandeusen, 2004;Coker et al, 1998;Scott & Beaman, 2004;Ullman, 2007b;Ullman & Knight, 1993). Furthermore, there has been some research regarding the home environment of the victim, with findings that a victim with a criminogenic background is less likely to encounter an escalation of violence resulting in homicide during a sexual assault (Mieczkowski & Beauregard, 2010).…”
