Poster #76 - Environmental Influences on Gender and Sexual Victimization: Analyzing Experiences and Resource Accessibility

• In Event: ASC Poster Session II

Abstract

This study examines the prevalence and nature of gender and sexual victimization across different environmental contexts—rural, suburban, and urban areas. The primary goal is to understand how victimization experiences vary depending on the locations and identify how access and barriers of resources differ or fluctuate within each setting. A survey approach is used to gather quantitative data on experiences of victimization.The survey questions address the access to support services across different environmental contexts. The projected results aim to highlight how different ecological settings impact victims' resources.
