Therefore, there is a need for a synthesis and critical analysis of the research. The aim of this review was to conduct a critical review of the academic literature on adult LGBTQ+ sexual violence and to provide recommendations for future research. A total of 10,845 papers were identified through a comprehensive scoping review approach and 108 met the criteria for inclusion. The findings are reported across two papers. This second paper reports on the risk factors for victimization: alcohol and other drugs (AOD); homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and minority stress; \u201crisky\u201d sexual behavior and HIV transmission; and child sexual abuse (CSA). AOD use was seen as a risk factor for sexual violence, yet the causal relationship was not always clear. Minority stress was conceived of as an individual issue with undertones of victim-blaming. \u201cRisky\u201d sexual behavior research, at times, framed LGBTQ+ sex as \u201crisky\u201d and failed to account for the specific needs of LGBTQ+ communities. Research on adult sexual violence risks had a focus on CSA that often neglected broader structural issues. In general, across the studies, there was a focus on individual-level research that analyzed survivor behavior, resulting in victim blaming. This paper advocates for expanding LGBTQ+ sexual violence research beyond just individual risk factors, shifting research away from constructing LGBTQ+ people as \u201crisky,\u201d and expanding research to include a more intersectional analysis that goes beyond heteronormative and cisnormative inquiry.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15248380241311930","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,22]],"date-time":"2025-01-22T06:46:27Z","timestamp":1737528387000},"page":"319-330","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["LGBTQ+ Adult Sexual Violence Critical Scoping Review: Victimization Risk Factors"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4910-3257","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jessica","family":"Ison","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"La Trobe Rural Health School, La Trobe University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7600-6199","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sophie","family":"Hindes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, La Trobe University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2650-3592","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bianca","family":"Fileborn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Criminology, School of Social and Political Sciences, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, VIC, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Alessi E.
