N2  - This article is based on data drawn from 90 Victoria Police operational files covering the period 2004-2008. Several thematic responses by sexual assault survivors are described as forming a master narrative of "identity shock." It is argued that the "minor/serious" sexual assault legal distinction is meaningless to survivors and conceals a shared felt experience. It is also argued that sexual assault is fundamentally a "public issue" of betrayal of citizen trust-not just a collection of "private troubles"-and that effective resolutions require more than individualized therapeutic and criminal justice measures.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
