Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cultural intimidation refers to the societal or cultural pressures that prevent individuals from reporting crimes, typically due to fear of retribution or ostracization from their community. This can often come from family and friends who may believe that reporting a crime will bring shame or dishonor to the family or community. Fear of reprisal refers to a similar fear of retribution or retaliation, but specifically from the perpetrator or their associates. Amnestic pressure and false memory syndrome are not applicable in this scenario.
