Stop Blaming the Victim: A Meta-Analysis on Rape Myths (2010, background): “Such reactions may emerge from the social network of the victims (Ullman, 1996), from legal services (Comack & Peter, 2005), police (Campbell & Johnson, 1997; Du Mont, Miller, & Myhr, 2003), clergy (Sheldon & Parent, 2002), health care providers (Ullman & Townsend, 2007), and so on.”

Factors Influencing Attitudes to Violence Against Women (2009, unknown): “Among clergy from over 20 Christian denominations, the more sexist that participants’ attitudes were, and the more fundamentalist their religious beliefs were, the more unfavorable were their attitudes towards rape victims (Sheldon & Parent, 2002).”
Beyond Surveys and Scales: How Rape Myths Manifest in Sexual Assault Police Records (2017, unknown): “Adolescents (Huang, 2016), clergy (e.g., Sheldon & Parent, 2002), college students (e.g., Bannon, Brosi, & Foubert, 2013), criminal justice system personnel (e.g., Smith, Wilkes, & Bouffard, 2016), jurors (e.g., Dinos, Burrowes, Hammond, & Cunliffe, 2015), and military personnel (e.g., Carroll,…”
