Question

Macmillan and colleagues (1997) surveyed a random sample of almost 10,000 adults and found that approximately ______ of women reported having been victims of sexual abuse during childhood.​

Answer 1

McMillan et. al. found that females were more likely to admit to sexual abuse, while males were more commonly reporting physical abuse. The overall percentage of people reporting childhood sexual abuse was 8%.

Answer 2

The answer is 13% of women.
The numbers is significantly lower compard to the actual report that received by the police departement because of a couple of factors such as:
- Some Children tend to not aware when they're being sexually abused
- The abuser could be someone near the children circle, which cause them to be afraid to tell the abuse that they've been receiving.
