N2  - As many as four in 10 Australians mistrust women’s reports of sexual violence according to the 2017 National Community Attitudes towards Violence against Women Survey.

The present study sought to understand why such a large proportion of the community mistrusts women’s reports of sexual violence. It aimed to inform prevention of sexual assault by addressing key gaps in the existing literature about the broad range of beliefs, attitudes and myths that may underlie community mistrust of women’s reports of victimisation. Comprehensive understanding of the factors underlying this mistrust is crucial to debunking myths about sexual assault. It is also crucial for encouraging women to report sexual violence, supporting women on their journey through the service system, facilitating access to justice and, ultimately, reducing and preventing this violence.
