Citations in the corpus

• Police perceptions of rape victims and the impact on case decision making: A systematic review (2017, background): “One of the most consistent effects in the general rape victim perception literature is that males (i) attribute higher levels of blame, (ii) lower levels of credibility, and (iii) hold higher levels of rape myth acceptance in comparison to females (e.g., Grubb & Turner, 2012).”
• Rape myth acceptance, victim blame attribution and Just World Beliefs: A rapid evidence assessment. (2017, background): “Grubb and Turner (2012) report that complainants may fear that they will be ignored by the authorities, that the crime is not important enough to report or that they are embarrassed about the attack.”
• Nonconsensual pornography among U.S. adults: A sexual scripts framework on victimization, perpetration, and health correlates for women and men. (2020, background): “Second, the term revenge porn implies that the victim instigated the harm by doing something for which the perpetrator is seeking revenge, supporting rape myths that blame victims for their own abuse (Grubb & Turner, 2012).”
• Black Racial Stereotypes and Victim Blaming: Implications for Media Coverage and Criminal Proceedings in Cases of Police Violence against Racial and Ethnic Minorities (2017, background): “Much of this work suggests that less socially respectable rape victims are perceived to be more at fault for their own rape and that perpetrators of rape against less socially respectable victims receive less harsh punishments (Grubb & Turner, 2012; Hockett, Smith, Klausing, & Saucier, 2015).”
• Lifestyle and Routine Activity Theories Revisited: The Importance of “Risk” to the Study of Victimization (2016, background): “A serious discussion of the issue of victim blaming is certainly warranted in its own right (see, e.g., Bryant & Spencer, 2003; Grubb & Turner, 2012; Menaker & Franklin, 2015).”
• A review of the literature relating to rape victim blaming: An analysis of the impact of observer and victim characteristics on attribution of blame in rape cases (2014, neutral): “This could possibly have vast implications for decision-making processes within the criminal justice system, as these may be influenced by unconscious preexisting stereotypes and (prejudicial) beliefs and attitudes (Grubb & Turner, 2012).”
• “Victim is Not Credible”: The Influence of Rape Culture on Police Perceptions of Sexual Assault Complainants (2019, background): “Rape myth acceptance is a cognitive schema that contributes to the formation of deleterious views about SA victims (Grubb & Turner, 2012).”
