The economic impacts on victims of rape

(I've change the study title for the OP as it fails to acknowledge the victims / sruvivors)

We estimate the economic impacts of rape using population-wide Finnish police reports and hospital admissions.

Over the five years following a rape, victims’ employment falls by 6 percentage points and annual earnings decline by €1,500, alongside a 6 percentage point increase in anti-depressant use, relative to otherwise observationally equivalent women.

These effects persist for at least a decade and correspond to a 15% decline in employment, 17% earnings loss, and 28% rise in anti-depressant use relative to pre-assault baselines.

Rape also generates spillover effects to victims’ networks: female schoolmates and victims’ parents experience significant mental health deterioration.

Do they mention the additional longterm cost of safety precautions?
