Abstract

Various definitions of sexual aggression lead to different rates of incidence and prevalence. Crime statistics indicate the rate of declared judiciable acts (Hellfeld). Research definitions are broader with respect to behavior of the perpetrator, damage to the victim etc. (Dunkelfeld). Taking various data sources into account it emerges that 12-20% of women become victims of sexual aggression, which means that sexual aggression is ubiquitous in society reaching all ages and social classes, women being by far more often exposed than men.
