Abstract
Despite substantial rates of male sexual victimization, male victims are less likely to seek help postvictimization compared to female victims, which has resulted in a lack of large-scale quantitative studies in this area. This study, as the first in a two-part series, aims to investigate the victimology patterns of male sexual assault victims, focusing on key elements of routine activity theory: victim characteristics (suitable targets) and the circumstances of assaults (lack of capable guardianship).
