Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: It has been well documented in the literature that experiences of sexual abuse can affect victims’ perceptions of what constitutes sexual assault. Victims of sexual abuse, especially child victims, can show signs of hypersensitivity to sexual assault or might be less able to recognize sexual assault as such because they have been conditioned to believe such activities are normal and not out of the ordinary. In 2003, the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) mandated that individual States and the Federal government begin to collect information regarding the nature and occurrence of sexual assault within their respective penal institutions. This research examines 500 randomly selected female inmates in the state of Texas to assess whether inmates reporting lifetime sexual abuse were more likely to identify certain situations as sexual assault as portrayed in scenarios included on a self-administered survey. The inmates’ rape supportive beliefs as measured through an Inmate Rape Supportive Belief Scale are also explored. The concern is that if sexual assault is not recognized as such it will not be reported to correctional authorities, victims will not receive assistance, and aggressors will go unrecognized and therefore unpunished. Findings from the research as well as implications for correctional policy are discussed.
