| dc.description.notes | "There is no one right way to disclose sexual assault or to respond to a<br/ >survivor of sexual assault, as it is an extremely complex interaction. Rape or<br/ >sexual assault is defined as "any completed or attempted unwanted vaginal (for<br/ >women), oral, anal penetration through the use of physical force or threats to<br/ >physically harm and includes times when the victim was drunk, high, drugged, or<br/ >passed out and unable to consent" (Black et al., 2011, p. 17). According to this<br/ >definition, rape is categorized into three types: completed forced penetration,<br/ >attempted forced penetration, and completed alcohol or drug facilitated<br/ >penetration. It is important to note that individual state laws define and penalize<br/ >sex crimes are differently (Cook, Gidycz, Koss, & Murphy, 2011; Kilpatrick,<br/ >2004; RAINN, 2016). Some legal definitions include force in addition to verbal<br/ >coercion (Kilpatrick, 2004). The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence<br/ >Survey (Black et al., 2011) reported that in the hearing community, approximately<br/ >one in five women (Black, 22%; non-Hispanic White, 18.8%; and Hispanic,<br/ >14.6%) had been raped in their lifetime, and that an estimated 13% of these<br/ >women also experienced sexual coercion at some point in their lives.<br/ ><br/ >In comparison, very little is known regarding the assault experiences of<br/ >Deaf women. Preliminary research indicates that Deaf women experience higher<br/ >rates of lifetime sexual assault compared to their hearing counterparts (Anderson<br/ >& Leigh, 2011; Barnett et al., 2011; Elliott Smith & Pick, 2015; Smith, 2008;<br/ >Urquiza & Goodlin-Jones, 1994). Much of the research detailing sexual assault in<br/ >the Deaf population has focused on intimate partner violence (IPV) and has found<br/ >that Deaf women are two to four times more likely than hearing women to<br/ >experience forced sex in their lifetime (Pollard, Sutter, & Cerullli, 2013). One<br/ >study sought to identify health disparities between individuals under the age of 65<br/ >in local deaf and hearing communities in Rochester, NY (Barnett et al., 2011). In<br/ >this American Sign Language (ASL)-accessible health survey, an estimated<br/ >20.8% of 308 deaf signers were "forced to have sex" in their lifetime versus 5.8%<br/ >of their hearing counterparts. By comparison, in a college sample of Deaf women,<br/ >Elliott Smith and Pick (2015) found that 69% percent experienced at least one<br/ >type of sexual assault during her life.<br/ ><br/ >Even with these statistics, it is impossible to know exactly how many<br/ >hearing and Deaf women have been raped in the United States because those<br/ >types of disclosures are rare."<br/ ><br/ >Excerpt from introduction<br/ ><br/ >Open access<br/ >See more: https://repository.wcsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1037&context=jadara | en |
