Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: It has been well documented in the literature that an individual's perception of what constitutes sexual assault can be clouded by factors such as past victimization and rape mythology acceptance. If sexual assault victims are not perceived as such, they will be less likely to report the incident and the perpetrator(s) may go unpunihsed for their actions. In 2003, the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) mandated that individual States and the Federal government being 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 and how these inmates respond to hypothetical prison rape situations as jurors. Our aim is to examine inmates' responses to gauge how they react to certain prison rape scenarios. Variables examining age at time of first sexual victimization, education, and marital status are used to determine whether significant life course events impact inmate perception. Inmates' rape supportive beliefs are explored as well as institutional factors which may impact perception of prison victimization. Variables measuring the occurrence of lifetime and prison sexual victimization will also be used to determine whether such victimization affects inmates' sentencing decisions. Findings from the research as well as implications for correctional policy are discussed.
