The Outside Looking in: Examining Reasoning Behind the Choice to Report Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence

Download PDF

This essay looks into reasons women have for reporting or not reporting domestic violence and sexual
assault. While this topic has received a considerable amount of research from scholars, it still has not
received the attention it should. When the #MeToo movement went viral, these issues started to become
more salient in society, however there was still backlash, insinuating that there is still a large amount of
misunderstanding around the issues of domestic violence and sexual assault. In this paper, I use my
outsider looking in lens to examine reasoning behind the choice to report. Through looking at previous
research in addition to my own case studies, I discover personal and institutional reasoning involved in the
choice to report, in addition to details such as severity and assailant.
