المثلية الجنسية و العنف الجنسي لدى نزلاء و نزيلات مراكز الإصلاح و التأهيل في الأردن

Abstract EN

The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between sexual violence and identifying as a homosexual at rehabilitation and corrections centers in Jordan.

Three hundred sixty-one inmates, forty-one females and three-hundred and twenty males participated in a survey that gathered demographic information, investigated sexual assaults against homosexuals while upholding their sentence, and history of childhood sexual assault.

Findings show that inmates who engaged in homosexual activities during their childhood also engaged in them during their sentence in prison.

In addition, the results show a correlation between females and engaging in homosexual activities as a child, and males and engaging in homosexual activities in prison.
