Abstract:
To explore if the shutdown of Danish nightlife during the Covid-19 pandemic caused a decrease in the number of clinical forensic examinations of victims of sexual assault in Eastern Denmark. Secondarily, to investigate, if there was a change in criminological characteristics, e.g. scene and time of crime, relation to the perpetrator and the proportion of possible drug-facilitated sexual assaults. 130 case files from clinical forensic examinations of individuals of alleged sexual assault in the period 1st of April to 30th of June in both 2019 and 2020 were included. 67 and 63 examinations were performed in 2019 and 2020, respectively. 125 cases were female and five were male. Approximately 70% were 15-25 years of age. Pre- and post-lockdown victim profiles were similar regarding assailant relation, location of crime and time of assault. Voluntary intake of alcohol prior to the assault was registered with 46.3% in 2019 and 62% in 2020. The ratio of possible drug-facilitated sexual assault (DFSA) was approximately 50% each year. The lockdown did not seem to change the overall number of examinations or the demographic and criminological characteristics of the sexual assault victims. No decrease in cases of possible DFSA was found despite the lockdown of nightlife venues.
摘要:
探讨新冠肺炎大流行期间丹麦夜生活的关闭是否导致丹麦东部性侵犯受害者的临床法医检查数量减少。其次,为了调查,如果犯罪学特征发生了变化,例如犯罪现场和时间,与犯罪者的关系以及可能的毒品促进的性侵犯的比例。包括2019年和2020年4月1日至6月30日期间对涉嫌性侵犯的个人进行临床法医检查的130份案件档案。2019年和2020年分别进行了67次和63次检查。女性125例,男性5例。约70%为15-25岁。封锁前和封锁后的受害者档案在袭击者关系方面相似,犯罪地点和攻击时间。袭击前自愿摄入酒精的比例在2019年为46.3%,在2020年为62%。每年可能的药物促进性侵犯(DFSA)的比例约为50%。封锁似乎并没有改变性侵犯受害者的检查总数或人口统计学和犯罪学特征。尽管夜生活场所被封锁,但可能出现DFSA的病例没有减少。
