Abstract
Being sexually victimized is a risk factor for future sexual victimization, also known as revictimization. One proposed risk factor for revictimization is risk recognition, the ability to accurately detect risk in potentially threatening situations. The aim of this systematic literature review is to provide an overview of the research on the role of risk recognition in revictimization. In total, 13 studies (N = 3,150) were included in this review. Of these, four longitudinal and two cross-sectional studies found empirical support of an association between risk recognition and revictimization. The remaining seven studies found no evidence of any such relationship. Inconsistencies can partially be explained by differences in sampling, methodologies, and measurements used. Other factors, such as the identity of the perpetrator, behavioral response to threat, and optimistic bias also influence risk recognition and revictimization rates and should therefore not be overlooked in research. Future research should aim to use more representative sampling and a more homogenous methodology of measuring risk recognition.
