Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology analyzed 153 court rulings that include descriptions of the victims’ behaviour prior to the rape.
The study was based on 2054 rape case rulings from Norwegian courts of appeal between 2013 and 2023 .
The findings showed that defendants in cases where the victim is described in accordance with the IRMAS-SAFI questionnaire receive lighter sentences.
NTNU study is the only quantitative Norwegian study that investigates and shows a correlation between rape myths and sentencing.
It highlights cases where the victim and the defendant are not aligned with the common perceptions we tend to have of them.
One example from Norway shows that a defendant was acquitted of raping a female colleague.
