Experiences with sexual aggression within the general population in the Czech Republic
Abstract:
In a representative survey of the sexual behavior of the inhabitants of the Czech Republic (862 men and 825 women older than 15), questions were included concerning experience with sexually aggressive behavior: 11.6% of women reported this kind of experience (3.4% of them more than once). The average age at the time of rape was 21.2 years. Most of these experiences occurred within marriage or a stable partnership. In only a tenth of them the perpetrator was a stranger. Only 3.4% of the offenses were reported to police. Of Czech men, 4.8% replied positively to the question whether they had ever forced a woman to have sexual contact. The most common form of these enforced contacts was vaginal coitus.
