“…On average, 50% of convicted rapists consumed alcohol at the time of the assault; a rate that is comparable to that for other violent crimes (Coid, 1986;Collins & Messerschmidt, 1993;Johnson, Gibson, & Linden, 1978;Rada, 1975;Scully, 1991;Vinogradov, Dishotsky, Doty, & Tinklenberg, 1988). Similarly, in Ageton's (1983) survey of adolescent community sexual assault perpetrators, approximately half of the offenders were drinking prior to the assault.…”

Approximately half of all sexual assaults are associated with either the perpetrator's alcohol consumption, the victim's alcohol consumption, or both. Although the emphasis of this review is on alcohol-involved sexual assaults, their unique aspects can only be evaluated by comparing them to other types of sexual assault. Theoretical perspectives on sexual assault that focus on characteristics of the perpetrator, the victim, and the situation are described. A number of personality traits, attitudes, and past experiences have been systematically linked to sexual assault perpetration, including beliefs about alcohol and heavy drinking. In contrast, only a few experiences have been significantly related to sexual assault victimization, including childhood sexual abuse and heavy drinking. There is support for both psychological and pharmacological mechanisms linking alcohol and sexual assault. Beliefs about alcohol's effects reinforce stereotypes about gender roles and can exacerbate their influence on perpetrators' actions. Alcohol's effects on cognitive and motor skills also contribute to sexual assault through their effects on perpetrators' and victims' ability to process and react to each other's verbal and nonverbal behavior. Limitations with existing research and methodological challenges associated with conducting research on this topic are described. Suggestions are made for future research which can inform prevention and treatment programs.

“…One study found that individuals with lower SES are more likely to be victims as well as perpetrators of sexual violence (Vinogradov, Dishotsky, Doty, & Tinkenberg, 1988). Other studies that examined father's occupation and income as an indicator of SES have shown no effects on rape myth acceptance (Feltey, Ainslie, & Geib, 1991;Gray, Palileo, & Johnson, 1993).…”

Abstract:A study designed to investigate the level and type of rape myths that are endorsed among middle school youth in terms of gender and socioeconomic background is reported in this paper. Participants were 582 seventh and eighth grade students who took part in Project Equality, a rape and sexual assault prevention curriculum that took place during eight, one and a half-hour sessions. The modified Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale was administered to students before and after Project Equality. Results indicate that males endorse higher levels of rape myth acceptance, both before and after the intervention, although the number of endorsed myths decreased. Rape myth endorsement decreased following the intervention among participants of differing socioeconomic backgrounds. Males and females showed lower levels of rape myth acceptance following the intervention. Implications include finding more effective ways to target male youth and that Project Equality works to lower rape myths among middle school youth.

“…Lorsque ce fut le cas, les auteurs ont choisi de les comparer, par exemple, sur la base de leur réponse à une épreuve psycho-métrique (Kempton et Forehand, 1991 ;Smith, Monastersky et Deisher, 1987), sur celle du type de délit commis (Becker, Cunningham-Rathner et Kaplan, 1987), ou sur celle des caractéristiques de l'agression (Vinogradov, Dishotsky, Doty et Tinklenberg, 1988).…”

“…Les deux groupes se démarquent de façon statistiquement significative (p = 0,001) quant à cette dernière variable, les agresseurs contre les femmes montrant une plus forte tendance (29 % vs 0%) à être intoxiqués au moment du délit. C'est une différence qui a aussi été notée à plusieurs reprises chez les délinquants sexuels adultes (Quinsey, 1984(Quinsey, , 1986Aubut et McKibben, 1985) et chez les adolescents (Vinogradov et al, 1988).…”
