Officer sex, hegemonic masculinity and beliefs about sexual assault and other gendered violent crime within a SAKI-funded police department

Emma C. Lathan, Jessalynn R. Ellis, Tres Stefurak, Jennifer Langhinrichsen‐Rohling

Short summary

In a SAKI-funded police department, female officers reported lower support for power over women and rape myth acceptance than male officers. Support for power over women, a component of hegemonic masculinity, directly influenced beliefs about rape and domestic violence (DV) reporting, and interacted with officer sex to affect DV reporting estimates.
