Analysis

The Sexual Experiences Survey – Perpetrator Version is a questionnaire that evaluates the frequency and nature of sexual behaviors that may be considered aggressive or coercive.

Objective

Its purpose is to measure and understand the extent and frequency of sexually aggressive acts committed by individuals. This information can be used to develop prevention and intervention programs against sexual violence.

Scoring

Responses are rated on a frequency scale (from “never” to “very often”). The scores are aggregated to provide an overall picture of the sexually aggressive behaviors reported by the respondent.
