Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This study explores rape advocates� perceptions of the possible revictimization of rape victims by police. While most of the previous research on revictimization samples victims, this current study provides a more complete picture of victims� possible revictimization by police through in-depth interviews with rape advocates who witness interaction between many victims and police officers in emergency rooms and police stations. Additionally, because they may interact with victims after police involvement, advocates have a sense of the effect of police treatment on victims. Forty-seven rape advocates who had direct experience with both police and victims are included in this analysis. Over half of advocates (55 percent) suggest that invasive questioning, victim-blaming attitudes, and general insensitivity on the part of police contribute to revictimization. Advocates stress the importance of training officers on issues of rape and methods to question a rape victim with greater sensitivity. They also describe their own role in attempting to mitigate the possible distress experienced by victims as a result of interaction with police.
