This study examined the
prevalence of victimization and perpetration of sexual aggression
since age 15 in a convenience sample of 565 Polish university students (356
females).
The prevalence of sexual aggression
was investigated for both males and females from the perspectives of both
victims and perpetrators in relation to three coercive strategies, three
different victim-perpetrator relationships, and four types of sexual acts.
We also examined the extent to which alcohol was consumed in the context of
sexually aggressive incidents. The overall self-reported victimization rate was
34.3% for females and 28.4% for males. The overall perpetration rate was 11.7%
for males and 6.5% for females. The gender difference was significant only for
perpetration.
Prevalence rates of both victimization and perpetration were
higher for people known to each other than for strangers. In the majority of
victimization and perpetration incidents, alcohol was consumed by one or both
parties involved.
The findings are discussed in relation to the international
evidence and the need for tailored risk prevention and reduction programs.
