“…29 Karayianni et al (2017) mendapatkan tingkat pendidikan ayah (sebagai kepala keluarga) pada kasus kekerasan seksual anak dominan rendah (57%), dan sisanya berpendidikan tinggi. 7 Perbedaan hasil peneliti dengan beberapa penelitian diatas kemungkinan karena kasus yang diteliti peneliti adalah kasus litigasi saja dimana orang-orang dengan pendidikan yang tinggi cenderung lebih mampu untuk mengenali kekerasan seksual serta mengerti pelaporannya ke pihak yang berwenang (seperti kepolisian), sehingga kasus kekerasan seksual pada anak yang keluarganya berpendidikan rendah mungkin tidak semuanya dilaporkan ke kepolisian. Perbedaan tempat dilaksanakannya penelitian juga dapat mengakibatkan perbedaan tingkat pendidikan penduduk setempat.…”
