Full textAbstract:
One in four women experience sexual assault during college. With rates of sexual assault on college campuses continuing to increase, the need for advanced analysis utilizing contemporary variables is justified. The purpose of this quantitative study was to compare two groups of female college-attending students. One group was certain and the other suspected that they were sexually assaulted while incapacitated (independent variables). Dependent variables compared between groups were offender type (interest on offenders with fraternal affiliations), law enforcement reporting decisions, and barriers to reporting sexual assault. Four research questions measured whether there was a statistically significant difference amongst the dependent variables when compared to the independent variables. The theoretical foundation for this study was empowerment theory. A comparative research design was used to examine archival data from the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research. Logistic regression and chi-square analysis showed mostly significant results: fraternal membership, reporting to law enforcement, and barriers to reporting to law enforcement were statistically significant. In addition, ad hoc tests were significant, indicating that being on a date with the offender, university disciplinary action taken, and whether the offender was arrested were all statistically significant variables. Social change is achievable at two levels, organizational and societal. Universities, advocacy groups, and governmental agencies may all benefit from contemporary findings. Furthermore, improved societal understanding of campus sexual assault culture and victimology can create a safe space for victims to report sexual assault on a college campus when it involves incapacitation.

Full textAbstract:
College is usually thought of as a time where students, often living alone for their first time, are encouraged towards healthy risk-taking behavior, as well as social, intellectual, and vocational development. Unfortunately for female students, college becomes the time of their lives where they are exposed to the highest risk of sexual victimization. Many colleges across America have taken steps to address the significant problem of sexual assault on their campuses. However, even with rising concern about the sexual victimization of college students, there remains very little systematic information published about the content of sexual assault policies, protocols and programs that exist on college campuses. Focusing on the seven schools of the Oregon University System (OUS), this study sought to examine the schools' sexual assault policies, as well as their prevention and response efforts to sexual assault. Additionally schools' willingness for assistance and training from Oregon Sexual Assault Task Force (OSATF) was also studied. Specifically, official school sexual assault policies were content analysis and secondary survey data gathered by the OSATF was examined. Results demonstrated that, in most cases, policies of the OUS schools were vague in their definitions of what constituted a sexual assault, and lacked the additional information necessary for victims to respond to their sexual victimization. However, Universities also offered various forms of educational opportunities and awareness raising activities. While this proves promising, there is clearly room for improvement. OUS schools also appeared willing to work with the OSATF to improve the delivery of their sexual assault prevention services. The findings of this thesis are important in directing future actions of the OUS when developing and implementing sexual assault response and prevention strategies.

Full textAbstract:
Working within a social constructionist paradigm, the focus of this study is on the way in which the social problem of campus sexual assault is constructed and the way in which these constructions determine the proposed solutions. To address the issue, the study focuses on a high-profile case of a violent sexual assault that occurred at Carleton University in the fall of 2007. Drawing upon the work of Joel Best and Donileen Loseke, I approach this issue by focusing on the claims-making activities that emerged in response to this event. Using a mixed methods analysis of newspaper coverage of the event consisting of a quantitative content analysis combined with a more detailed thematic analysis focusing on the specific claims made and the more general themes they reflect, this study analyzes the dominant claims-makers identified by the media, the claims they put forth, and the proposed solutions that follow from their particular constructions of the problem. Results of this analysis illustrate the contested nature of the construction of campus sexual assault as well as the way in which competing discourses reflect features of a broader social discourse relating to crime, individualization, and the responsibilization of women to protect themselves from sexual violence.

Full textAbstract:
This three-paper dissertation quantitatively identifies and examines three different substantive areas using data from the American College Health Association’s Fall of 2016 National College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA). Specific areas of inquiry include, marginalized populations and college campus sexual assault, intersectional analyses of risk factors for college campus sexual assault, and drinking protective behavioral strategies as prevention tools for college campus sexual assault. Paper one, titled, “College Campus Sexual Assault and Students with Disabilities,” explores a particular marginalized group of students that have been largely left out of college campus sexual assault studies: female college students with disabilities. The logistic regression analyses find that having any disability increases risk for any type of college campus sexual assault more than other commonly cited risk factors such as binge drinking, or Greek affiliation. Moreover, the study indicates that odds for female students with disabilities are varied depending on the type of assault, completed, attempted, or relationship, as well as the specific type of disability. Results are discussed, and policy implications, limitations, and opportunities for future research are delineated.
Paper two, titled, “College Campus Sexual Assault: Moving Toward a More Intersectional Quantitative Analysis,” is guided by an intersectional theoretical framework. The study employs classification and regression tree analyses (CART) to identify more specific groups of students that are at disproportionate risk for sexual assault beyond singular variables or even interaction effects. Unlike traditional regression techniques, CART does not assume a linear relationship, and can simultaneously account for independent variables relationship to one another while determining which variables have the most explanatory power for the dependent variable and for which unique groups of students. The study discusses results of analyses in relationship to intersectional research both theoretically and methodologically, as well as future research, and policy implications.
Alcohol consumption, particularly binge drinking, has been consistently linked to greater risk for college campus sexual assault victimization. However, there is a lack of college campus violence prevention and intervention programming that addresses alcohol consumption in relation to campus sexual assault. As such, paper three, titled, “Drinking Protective Behavioral Strategies and College Campus Sexual Assault,” uses logistic regression to explore whether or not the use of drinking protective behavioral strategies (PBS) lowers risk for sexual assault in female college students that drink alcohol. The study examines both the main effects of drinking PBS on sexual assault risk, as well as whether or not the use of drinking PBS moderates the risk of frequent alcohol consumption, and binge drinking on college campus sexual assault. The paper discusses findings, limitations, policy implications, and avenues for future research.

Full textAbstract:
Research relating to campus sexual assault has traditionally focused on its prevalence and factors that serve to influence risk of victimization. Less attention has been directed toward the presence and effectiveness of campus sexual assault resources. In addition, few studies have explored the role that culture and other geographical factors may play in this process. The current study seeks to address this limitation in two unique ways: (1) determining whether an Appalachian upbringing influences knowledge of and willingness to utilize campus sexual assault resources and (2) exploring its impact on adherence to common rape myths. Survey data are gathered from students at a public university located in the heart of the Appalachian Region, with results serving to improve our understanding of how culture affects students’ knowledge and perceptions of campus sexual assault resources.

Full textAbstract:
Sexual assault is an issue that is growing drastically and a particularly pertinent issue on the university campus level. Statistics indicate that approximately one in five women will suffer from sexual assault during their college career. It has always been an important issue but even more so currently due to numerous universities being placed under scrutiny for their lack of support or compliancy for dealing with sexual assault. The Association of American Universities (AAU) Survey was conducted to gauge the campus climate of sexual assault specifically at the University of Arizona. Results indicate that sexual assault is a significant issue on campus, and certain groups are more affected than others. Student awareness of resources at the University of Arizona for sexual assault varied depending on the resource, but overall the survey shows that there needs to be a vast improvement in the accessibility of on-campus resources. In order to combat sexual violence on campus, the University of Arizona needs to hold perpetrators accountable, implement comprehensive primary prevention programming, and provide a plethora of resources readily available and accessible for survivors of sexual assault.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Heather T. Rowan-KenyonThe purpose of this study on university handling of Campus Sexual Assault (CSA) was to understand the experiences of Title IX Coordinators as key administrators in this work. CSA continues to be a pervasive problem, and the dialogue on campuses and externally is highly contentious. Guidance from the federal government, combined with a recent surge in lawsuits against universities, have created a precarious legal context for CSA that is exceedingly difficult for universities to manage. How institutions handle the array of moving parts with CSA is largely absent from the current literature. This study interviewed university Title IX Coordinators, who are responsible for overseeing the institutional response to CSA and therefore are uniquely positioned to offer insight into how universities are handling the problem and the internal and external factors that are playing a role. Sixteen interviews were conducted of Title IX Coordinators responsible for overseeing student CSA matters at NCAA Division I institutions. The research questions guiding this study included: (a) how do Title IX Coordinators handle and carry out their responsibilities related to CSA; what shapes the ways in which Title IX Coordinators handle their responsibilities related to CSA, and (b) how does university culture influence Title IX Coordinators’ work related to CSA? The theory that emerged from the data indicates that Title IX Coordinators have an array of complexities to navigate in their CSA work, stemming from an interplay of both internal and external pressures and factors, that can lead to a range of outcomes that are most often negative. Using grounded theory methodological procedures, a theory and visual model were generated to explain the interactions among the following components: Title IX Coordinator values and priorities; processes involved in CSA work; university culture and structure; collaboration with and management of university partners; the legal landscape and external context; and case outcomes and Title IX Coordinator impact. The theory has implications for policy, for Title IX Coordinators and universities, and for future research

Thesis advisor: Celeste WellsThis study analyzes female students’ perceptions of sexual assault at Boston College. These perceptions are interpreted and understood using the theory of framework and organizational communication. The goal of this study is to effectively illustrate how female students form perceptions of sexual assault, and to understand why they are often hesitant to engage in conversations about it. Through the use of framing devices, this study explains how the administration and campus culture influence the way students view the issue of sexual assault. 135 female students at Boston College participated in an online survey, and their responses indicate that a culture of silence emerges from the perceptions of sexual assault on campus. While the culture of silence influences most female students to refrain from talking about sexual assault, a new framing device emerged from the data, which I refer to as the frame of defiance

Full textAbstract:
On April 4, 2011, the U.S. Department of Education issued a Dear Colleague Letter on campus sexual assault reaffirming the intent of Title IX, the 1972 law that prohibits discrimination sex-based under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. In response to growing concern over due process rights for defendants, in September 2017 the guidance was rescinded. Public policy continues to evolve, leading to potentially lasting institutional changes on many college campuses. These developments include the formalization of campus investigations and adjudications, the development of campus coordinating committees and expanded support mechanisms for victims. In Virginia, laws passed in 2015 require transcript notations and notification to law enforcement prosecutors’ offices of certain sexual assault offenses reported to colleges and universities. To date, no research exists on how prosecutors, as the presumed gateway to justice, make sense of and navigate these emerging developments when making decisions about cases. The present study helps to fill that void by using inductive qualitative methods through a symbolic interactionism theoretical framework. The findings are based on in-depth interviews with prosecutors across Virginia to examine how they create meaning based on case elements in campus sexual assault cases including legal considerations and victim and offender characteristics, as well as their perceptions of the influence of internal and external relationships on their decision-making. A modified grounded theory approach informed data coding and analysis, which yielded the development of a theory that explains the ways various factors and interactions with campus officials, and survivors that influence prosecutors’ action including decisions to charge, to take a case to trial and to collaborate. Results of the study inform the development of public policy to ultimately improve practice, collaboration and information sharing processes in both campus and criminal justice-prosecution systems.

Full textAbstract:
In loco parentis, or “in place of the parent,” was the model that formerly governed the relationship between student and university. Student behavior on campus was closely monitored, as if each pupil were the son or daughter of the dean. The university was granted power to regulate the lives of its students closely, but was also charged with responsibility for their welfare. The cultural revolution of the 1960s changed this. Student rebellions aimed against any and all authority, coupled with judicial interference that severely hindered the university’s capacity to act as parent, effectively killed off the doctrine of in loco parentis. Now the relationship between university and student more closely resembles that of landlord and tenant.
These phenomena have coincided with the rise of the “campus rape epidemic,” or the notion that roughly 20 percent of women will be sexually assaulted during their college years. By comparing the sexual assault rate at schools that continue to practice in loco parentis to those that do not, this report will show that a return to the doctrine of university as parent can solve the problem of sexual assault on college campuses. In a survey of 657 colleges and universities around the nation, this paper will demonstrate that the sexual assault rate is lower at schools that attempt to regulate the lives of their students, such as with regard to alcohol and living arrangements. This is, in a sense, to state the obvious – or, at least, what was once obvious. Alcohol is involved in over half of all sexual assaults on campus, and 90 percent of sexual assaults occur in dorm rooms. By reducing the availability of alcohol on campus and by limiting the residence interactions between the sexes, the university can put an end to the campus rape epidemic.

Full textAbstract:
Approximately one in four women experience sexual violence in college. Public institutions of higher education identify professionals specifically responsible for Title IX compliance, campus grievance processes, and survivor advocacy. Success in these roles depends upon a variety of institutional, legal, and procedural factors, and the ability to balance compliance, accountability, transparency, confidentiality, and care for students in pursuit of institutional justice. However, the literature has failed to acknowledge the complexities and individual cost of serving in these contentious roles. Moreover, facets of organizational culture can hinder grievance professionals' efficacy in fulfilling their duties, facilitating consistent and fair resolutions, and ensuring just outcomes. This exploratory, qualitative study sought to fill the literature gap and add insight into the experiences and perspectives of student conduct, Title IX, and advocacy professionals at multiple public institutions by seeking to understand individual actions, values, and responses in light of organizational structures, institutional policies, leadership, grievance models, and power dynamics. Data indicated that professionals involved in campus grievance endure severe emotional strain in their efforts to facilitate justice, especially if their own values and principles are misaligned with those of institutional leaders, policies, grievance processes, or outcomes. Moreover, the findings suggest that such misalignment diminishes professional efficacy, which increases stress, fatigue, and leads to burnout, thereby decreasing the likelihood of realizing justice. Recommendations include revisions to graduate education, reimagined compelled disclosure policies, the need for employee support programs, and a call for further accountability of institutional leaders. Finally, an alternative paradigm is explicated for moral and justice-centered resolutions of campus sexual assault.

Full textAbstract:
This research analyzes campus discourse at a university in south central Appalachia in an effort to highlight the role of communication in the prevention of sexual assault and its powerful effects on communities and individuals. Using a critical feminist lens, this qualitative case study identifies the communication goals, interpretations, and strategies of two important speech communities who participate in sexual assault discourse on college campuses—campus professionals who communicate about the issue of sexual assault (issue managers) and sexual assault survivors whose identity is shaped by sexual assault (identity managers). While both groups talk about the problem, the parties diverge on the core function of sexual assault communication. Findings from these speech communities suggest the need for targeted efforts to decimate rape myths on university campuses, as well as the necessity to create safe spaces for survivors to report and talk about sexual assault and form solidarity with other survivors.

Full textAbstract:
Sexual victimization is a pervasive mental and physical health issue with overarching implications for university campuses and victim service providers alike. While a large expanse of research exists on sexual violence and the factors associated with victimization, less is known about the potentially unique experiences faced by Black college women in particular. Utilizing data collected by the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, this study examines the prevalence of college sexual victimization, levels of social support for victims and non-victims, intimate partner sexual victimization (IPSV), and the predictability of self-esteem on sexual victimization. In addition, comparisons are made between Black college women and their White counterparts. After conducting multiple t-tests and logistic regression analyses, results indicated that Black college women were more likely to experience IPSV than White college women, and Black college women received less social support following sexual victimization than Black non-victims. These findings can help in establishing more efficient and accessible assistance for victims.

Full textAbstract:
Rape cultures in the United States facilitate acts of rape by influencing perpetrators’, community members’, and women who survive rapes’ beliefs about sexual assault and its consequences. While much of the previous research on rape in university settings has focused on individual attitudes and behaviors, as well as developing education and prevention campaigns, this research examined institutional influences on rape culture in the context of football teams. Using a feminist poststructuralist theoretical lens, an examination of newspaper articles, press releases, reports, and court documents from December 2001 to December 2007 was conducted to reveal prominent and counter discourses following a series of rapes and civil lawsuits at the University of Colorado.
The research findings illustrated how community members’ adoption of institutional discourses discrediting the women who survived rape and denying the existence of and responsibility for rape culture could be facilitated by specific promotional strategies. Strategies of continually qualifying the women who survived rapes’ reports, administrators claiming ‘victimhood,’ and denying that actions by individual members of the athletic department could be linked to a rape culture made the University’s discourse more palatable to some community members who included residents of Boulder, Colorado and CU students, staff, faculty, and administrators. According to feminist poststructuralist theory, subjects continually construct their identities and belief systems by accepting and rejecting the discourses surrounding them. When community members incorporate rape-supportive discourses from the University into their subjectivities, rape culture has been propagated.

Thesis advisor: Paul GrayThe prevalence of sexual assaults on college campuses has been gaining more attention in recent years. Through 16 undergraduate interviews with both male and female students, college students’ attitudes about hookup culture, the role of sexual consent, and issues that they see surrounding college campus sexual assault were explored. Students felt as though they were not responsible for their own decisions; failed to empathize with, and often objectified, fellow students; expressed a problematic distinction between sexual assault and rape; and voiced a pressure to act in accordance with traditional gender norms. There needs to be a shift in the way college students are introduced to college including frank conversation among students about the impact their actions can have on their peers and themselves

Full textAbstract:
Research indicates nearly one-fourth of college women fall victim to sexual assault (Cantor et. al., 2015). Two predictors of high proclivity to rape are endorsement of rape myths and adherence to traditional gender norms (King & Roberts, 2011). Additionally, research shows school-based sex education in the United States presents gender and sexual norms in troubling ways that disproportionately harm women (Kendall, 2013). However, research on sexual assault and rape myths have not examined the impact school-based sex education has on rape supportive attitudes. This study aimed to bridge that gap by using original survey data from undergraduate students at a large public university. Analyses indicate sex education has an inconsistent impact on rape myth acceptance; additionally, seeking sexual health information online was found to significantly lower endorsement of rape myths. Study outcomes suggest that further research is needed to explore the relationship between sex education curricula and rape supportive attitudes.

Sexual assault is a serious problem on college campuses. The purpose of this study was to examine factors that are associated with sexual assault survivors reporting their assault. The sample included 266 individuals who had experienced a sexual assault since enrolling in their university. A multinomial regression was tested to predict the odds of whether or not the survivor made a formal report of the assault, an informal report to friends or family members, or if the survivor told no one about the assault. The type of assault, the survivor’s relationship to the perpetrator, whether or not the survivor was drinking alcohol at the time of the assault, whether or not the survivor received sexual assault training, and the survivor’s perception of the overall campus climate were added as predictors of the odds of making a report. The participant’s belief that the university would handle the assault appropriately was used as a moderator of those associations. Race/ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation were used as control variables. It was found that if the survivor had received sexual assault training, if the assault was vaginal or anal sex, and if the survivor had a positive perception of the overall campus climate, they were more likely to formally report the assault. If the perpetrator was an acquaintance, friend, or dating partner, survivors were less likely to formally report the assault. If the survivor was a racial or ethnic minority, they were less likely to formally or informally report the assault. Our findings suggest that there are ways universities can aid in survivors reporting their sexual assault through education, training, and improving the overall campus climate.

This study used a survey to gather information from 112 women on Kansas State University’s campus on the topic of sexual assault. This study attempted to fill in the gap of research concerning sexual assault, reporting, and student engagement with university prevention initiatives. The key findings of this study show that students are willing to learn about sexual assault, and that high levels of university involvement and high levels of perceived self-efficacy lead to an increase in a student’s willingness to report cases of sexual assault. Future research should explore a branding campaign for successful sexual assault prevention initiatives, while looking into the concept of self-defense as a viable addition to current campus offerings.

Campus sexual assault and sexual harassment is common worldwide. Taiwan is no exception.The authorities and schools are authorized by the administrative power to handle such incidents. To exercise the public power to restrict fundamental rights of offender, they need not only the legal basis but also the justifiable process. The provision of Gender Equity Education Act defines that the investigation into these incidents must be conducted by a professional organization with the institutionalized procedure. In our society, researches on this issue have tended to be conservative with few open discussions. Only until recently have we valued the importance of gender equality due to the awareness promotion and the prevalence of body autonomy. It is required for the authorities and schools to resolve the cases legally and expeditiously under the assistance of professional organization and according to the institutionalized procedure enacted by the provisions of Gender Equity Education Act. Because each step in processing the cases is a substantial test of rule of law and concept of gender equality on campus, the society and school could be in danger with mishandling. Apart from uncovering the fact in order to punish offenders justly, the case investigation also serves to educate people involved in the incident about values of human rights on mutual respect between different genders. By education, it helps them establish correct interactive models between genders. This helps, on one hand, offenders correct bias and misconducts and, on the other hand, victims enhance self-defense capabilities. Then, offenders harm people no more and victims fall into preys no longer. Therefore, we may prevent such incident from taking place again on campus and in society in the future. Furthermore, it also helps investigators be familiar with applicable regulations and techniques in processing such cases, litigants and related parties become familiar with rights and duties, and offenders stay away from similar misconducts. Additionally, it helps people avoid casting a disapproving eye at and pay respect to the victims when they hear about the incidents, enrich the diversified knowledge and correct mentality in sex education, understand the gender diversity, and possess open mindsets to accept people different from themselves. In this way, the gender equality can be fulfilled.

Sexual violence on the university campus is something that has been increasing over the years, so the present study aims to characterize sexual violence in Portuguese universities, since studies in this area are scarce. The present investigation consisted of 144 participants, aged between 18 and 25 years. The results obtained were based on the cases that reported some type of unwanted sexual activity, which refers to a percentage of 27 %, the majority of them being female 77%. With this sample we realize that most of the perpetrators are known to the victims and that they have never asked for help from the competent authorities. With regard to academic consequences, 66,7% of the participants report having had some impact in this context. With the information obtained in these studies it is clear the need to intervene together with the young people, so that they perceive the risks that run and how they can deal with these situations.

The sexual assault and harassment on campus will repeat itself if the teacher committed the offense is not expelled from the campus. The schools did not follow the laws is the reason these offenses cannot be eradicated. The schools and the Minster of Education dodged the problems is the causes of difficulty for promoting sexual equality education. The purpose of this study is to safeguard the students’ interests, to analyze power abuses on campus, to prevent from the prevalence of unfitted teacher, to preserve campus security, to guarantee sexual autonomy, to eradicate sexual assault and harassment on campus. As a result of this study, the author urges the legislators, executive officers and school administrators to give high regard to the rights of campus minorities, to conduct impartial investigation on gender equality cases free from external interferences, and to establish a fair, just, and open procedure on campus for reporting and dismissing unfitted teachers. Only by effectively listing and grasping unfitted teachers, may the sexual assault and harassment on campus be completely eradicated. Besides analyzing the laws for criminal and administrative illegal sexual offensive conducts and its application, this article also studies issues arising from campus sexual assaults and harassments committed by unfitted teachers, extramarital affairs or teacher-student love affairs occurred on campus, and the transfer of dismissed teachers to private tutoring classes which may enlarge the scope of problem. Also, this article attempts to clarify the issues for processing sexual assault and harassment cases, and to study the extra-campus remedies based on Judicial Yuan Interpretation No. 684. It is hoped that this study may benefit the victims of sexual assaults and harassments on campus. The author found that legislation alone is not the best medicine for curing sexual assaults and harassments on campus. It remains for the school and administrative organ in charging education to execute the gender equality laws faithfully. The author hopes that the results of this study may be considered for law revisions in the future, so as to protect the students’ interests, to analyze power abuses on campus, to stop the prevalence of unfitted teacher, to preserve campus security, to guarantee sex autonomy, to eradicate sexual assault and harassment on campus; finally, to realize substantive gender equality, to eradicate sexual discrimination, to guarantee personal dignity; and, ultimately, to establish a fair and equal educational environment and to distribute educational resources in accordance with gender equality.

Dissertação de Mestrado apresentada no ISPA – Instituto Universitário para a obtenção de grau de Mestre na especialidade de Psicologia Clínica.É de conhecimento geral a existência de assalto sexual sendo um fenómeno progressivamente mais visível a nível mundial. No entanto, subsiste como um fenómeno pouco visível no seu conjunto e com ainda menos visibilidade quando ocorre em Campus Universitários em termos globais e também em Portugal. A presente investigação tem como principal objetivo estudar a incidência da violência sexual em estudantes universitários portugueses, pois este tema tem vindo a tornar-se numa área de interesse em termos de movimento cívico e de relevância em termos de investigação. No sentido de sistematizar a informação no que diz respeito a elementos chave como violência sexual, assalto sexual, alcoolismo e uso de estupefacientes, e considerando que não há ainda muita informação disponível sobre a violência sexual nos Campus Universitários em Portugal, considerou-se relevante realizar um estudo exploratório a nível nacional. Esta investigação pretende assim, determinar, caracterizar e compreender as características desta problemática em termos de vitimização de assalto sexual no contexto académico português, partindo da perceção dos próprios estudantes. Concluiu-se através de dados recolhidos junto de 104 estudantes universitários, com idades superiores a 17 anos, que as percentagens de vítimas de assalto sexual diminuíram. Não quer dizer que seja efetivamente representativo da população, mas a realidade da amostra do estudo. Apesar disso, qualquer diminuição deste fenómeno que representa muito a violência de género é positiva. Relativamente aos números de stalking que representam quase metade da amostra, vemos que acaba por não se concretizar em assalto sexual. Não podemos, no entanto, menosprezar o fenómeno de stalking que pode ser tão destrutivo como o assalto sexual em si.
Everyone is aware of the existence of sexual assault be an increasingly visible phenomenon worldwide. However, there remains as a barely visible phenomenon as a whole and even less visible when it occurs in Campus University overall and also in Portugal. This research aims to study the incidence of sexual violence in Portuguese university students, because this issue has become an area of interest in terms of civic movement and relevance in terms of research. In order to systematize the information regarding the key elements such as sexual violence, sexual assault, alcoholism and drugs, and considering that there is not much information available on sexual violence in Campus University in Portugal, it was considered relevant conduct an exploratory study at national level. This investigation aims to determine, characterize and understand the characteristics of this problem in terms of victimization of sexual assault in the Portuguese academic context, based on the students' perception. It was concluded through data collected from 104 university students, aged over 17 years, that the percentages of victims of sexual assault fell. It does not mean that it is effectively representative of the population, but the reality of the study sample. Nevertheless, any reduction of this phenomenon is that much gender violence is positive. Regarding the stalking numbers that represent almost half of the sample, we see that it ends up not being realized in sexual assault. We cannot, however, underestimate the phenomenon of stalking which can be as destructive as the sexual assault itself.

Since the Gender Equality Education Act was issued in 2004,the procedure of investigation and management on the cases of sexual harassment or sexual assault on campus has been expressly stipulated in writing, and these cases should be processed by the school's Gender Equity Education Committee, following the institutionalized process. However, the entire process of appeals management is very complicated and lengthy. In addition to facing fears and anxiety after the incidents, the victims also need to undergo a series of investigation process, leading to a suffering and disturbance. Therefore, this study tries to research the changes of the victims’ mental process after experiencing the whole application investigation process, to understand the impact of the overall appeals procedure on the victims, to define whether the treatment is needed to be promoted, and follow-up to assist in the restoration of the victim’s mental health as well as to improve their self-defense capability. This study conducted qualitative research method with depth interviews. In addition to a senior high school victim students, this study also gathered information through interviews with three consulting teachers who once conducted psychological consultation on the victims, a mentor, two investigation commissioners in order to collect more information. There are seven people in all. The main conclusions are as follows: Most interviewees deem that victims after events have negative perception and also affect the school life. Victims’ awareness to the procedure of investigation and management on campus gentle equity cases will affect their motivation of applying investigation. The expectation to the investigative process and the fairness will influence the follow-up psychological impact of the victims. The victims will face multiple difficulties during the process of investigation on the campus gentle equity cases and need assistance. The support system for the victims will affect the degree of recovery in the future. The results of the investigation on the campus gentle equity cases may bring about both positive and negative impacts at the same time. According to the results of the study , the study raises three recommendations : The investigation procedure: The process of investigation and management needs more specific guidelines for the disposal and simplifying unnecessary programs. As to the unestablished gentle equity cases, it is required to stipulate relevant counseling mechanisms, to research the training system and increase internship opportunities, to promote the related counseling knowledge and techniques, and to enhance the teachers' consciousness of gender equity in positive ways. The school administration: The reporting definition of all units must be consistent and the one-stop window system needs to be set up. The division of work between counselors and administrative staffs should be. The case counseling: The counseling measures previous to the investigation should be more comprehensive and respect the investigation willing of the party involved.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past few years, incidents of gender-based violence on Canadian university
campuses have gained public attention. In 2013 rape chants occurred during frosh week at two
universities – UBC and Saint Mary’s. In March 2014 the University of Ottawa’s hockey and
coaching staff was suspended after the sexual assault of a woman was reported in Thunder Bay
where the team was playing an out-of-town game. Later in 2014, the misogynistic Facebook
posts by Dalhousie dentistry students came to the public’s attention. A number of sexual assaults
have also taken place on the University of Saskatchewan campus, including high profile cases in
2003 and 2012. The current project takes a step back to explore two research questions. First,
how did women’s experiences at the University of Saskatchewan campus shape the institutional
discourse and policies and procedures on sexual assault? Second, what were the “ruling relations”
that affected the chain of actions leading to the development of sexual assault policies?
In order to answer the two research questions, institutional ethnography, augmented by
interpretive historical sociology, were utilized. Archival documents from the University of
Saskatchewan Archives and Special Collections were gathered and six semi-structured
interviews were conducted.
Double standards, sexism, limited child care, sexual harassment and sexual assault were
just a few issues that female students, faculty, and staff were concerned with at the University of
Saskatchewan. There were a number of groups on campus during the time frame under
investigation such as the Pente Kai Deka, the Women’s Directorate, and the Help Centre.
However, the thesis focuses mainly on the President’s Committee on the Status of Women
(PCSW), the President’s Advisory Committee on the Status of Women (PACSW), and the
Sexual Harassment Office (SH Office). In 1990 the PACSW was formally created. The main
iii
goal of the PACSW was to create the Reinventing Our Legacy (ROL) report, which was based
on submissions received from all groups on campus. Through the submissions the PACSW
derived nine recommendations to address sexual/gender harassment at the University of
Saskatchewan. The six interviewees involved with the PACSW described the barriers
experienced both within and outside the Committee. As well, the interviewees felt the ROL
report did not have the expected impact on the University of Saskatchewan campus.
Incidents of sexism, sexual harassment and sexual assault are still occurring at the
University of Saskatchewan. Based on information received from the women of the PACSW
interviewed for this research, the archival data collected, and other research involvement
regarding campus sexual assault, the thesis presents five recommendations for the University of
Saskatchewan: a safe space, professional staff, education, policy and procedures, and resources.

The motivation of this study is the author was invited to participate in the rescue activity of the Judicial Reform Foundation for teacher Xu since 2014. Teacher Xu was suspected of sexually assaulting the girl, A, and the gender equality education committee of J national primary school launched an investigation into the case. Girl A is a child with intellectual disabilities, based on that, the scope of this paper focuses on the due process for investigative interviewing children and people with intellectual disabilities by the gender equality education committee in schools, and discusses as follow: the procedure of the gender equality education committee to address campus sexual assaults, and the vulnerability of children and intellectually disabled in the procedure; based the principle of due process stipulated in the constitution, this paper examines ROC's legal system's protective requirements for children and people with intellectual disabilities, proposes the legal amendment proposal to deal with the campus sexual assaults; finally, the integration of criminal investigation procedures and the gender equality education committee investigation procedures in campus sexual assault incidents. The research of this paper is limited in the vulnerable groups easily encountered in campus sexual assault incidents, that is, children under 18 years old and those with intellectual disabilities over 18 years old. Children are often the only witnesses to incidents of campus sexual assaults in schools below the senior secondary level. Children's testimony is so important, therefore, appropriate interview techniques must be used to protect children's testimony from misinformation and suggestion. The mental development of the intellectually disabled is stopped or incomplete, so when faced with the adult intelligent disabled, it is actually dealing with the minds of children. ROC has made Convention on the Rights of the Child and Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities have the effect of domestic law through the Implementation Acts, and the relevant systems should be established to protect the rights of the children and the disabled in the investigative interview. The current law conducts interviews on campus sexual assaults in children and those with intellectual disabilities without special procedures, which will have negative impacts on them in reality. It is equivalent to placing children and people with intellectual disabilities into contempt disposal that may shake their personality subjectivity, and inconsistent with the constitution's intention to guarantee their right to dignity, equality and due process. This paper argues that the place of interview, qualifications of interviewees, interview strategies, agents, assistants and video recording should be clearly regulated. When children and intellectual disabilities become victims of such cases, there are provisions in the criminal investigation procedure to reduce repeated inquiries and to facilitate inquiries by judicial interrogators. The witness interview with the gender equality education committee should be conducted after the police interrogation, police officers, social workers and judicial interrogators can also be interviewed as witnesses. In the future, laws should be amended so that school sexual assault investigators can also participate in the inquiry process of judicial interrogators by means of single-lens, audio-video transmission technology, or appropriate isolation measures.

This study aims at exploring a preliminary description of difficulties in implementing preventive work of sexual assault or sexual harassment on secondary school campuses by means of data analyses and research; announcement work as well as the current conditions and difficulties of the gender equity education committee will be investigated; impacts that environmental factors have on teenagers will also be further examined. The study indicates that the schools lack legal recognition, and most of them only emphasize the official documents from the superiors. Meanwhile, concealment of announcement work, frequent personnel changes, failure to hand over and coordinate works all result in problems. Besides, gender equality issues are not taken seriously on campus; gender equity education committee is not equipped with any professional administrator; a lack of clear division of the department leads to conflicts within the organization; weakening of the family functions affects children’s values; the media fails to fulfill its educational function so that the society is full of gender myths. In addition, the popularity of the Internet also has an adverse effect on students’ concepts in gender equity while the government still has little to do with management of the media and the Internet so far. The study proposes suggestions of how to implement prevention work of sexual assault and sexual harassment in two aspects: As far as the government departments are concerned, law enforcement and advocacy, first of all, should be put more emphasis on and human resources and establish of district resource centers need integrating. Second of all, advocacy and encouragement had better replace punishment for not being informed. Third of all, community resources should be integrated and parent-child activities should be rewarded. Last but not least, the government should pay attention to problems of media pornography and Internet crime. As for the schools concerned, the schools should be active in association with social and political departments and then set up communication platforms and take a close look at differences in administration and increase human resources and incentives. Furthermore, they ought to implement gender equity education and advocate related legal education. In addition, they are supposed to encourage colleagues to participate in and build the school talent bank and shorten the time of processing gender equity cases.

With the increasing events of sexual assault, sexual harassment and sexual bullying on campus, and cases of educators ignoring the obligation of reporting, many teachers still needed more prevention knowledge according to former empirical researches. As a result, under Project of Friendly Campus and Strategy of Implementing Protection of Children and Juvenile of Ministry of Education, the study examined the practice and difficulties of public elementary and junior high school principals in Chia Yi City lecturing prevention of sexual assault, sexual harassment and sexual bullying on campus and after the lecturing, the changes of school prevention strategies. The objectives were made through the use of semi structured interview of qualitative research approach. It was explored in 6 cases of at least an experience of lecturing prevention of sexual assault, sexual harassment or sexual bully on campus of elementary and junior high school principals in Chia Yi City. After the interviews, the scripts were analyzed and the outcomes were discussed. The results were as follows. First, the principals planned the prevention lecture because of implementing the policy of Ministry of Education, the routines of school, the inspiration of news, further education in faculty, and concerns of pupils. The lecturing data came from the internet and the mass media, official information, cases all over the world, data from workshops, renewals of former data, discussion with faculty. The lecture was in several aspects including theories, analyzing cases, the resource and support of school administration, counselling of cases, sentimental stories, recognizing the boundaries of incidents and proper behavior and teaching demonstration. Second, the difficulties were the lack of understanding, experiences, thorough resource internet, containing all aspects and proper time of holding a workshop, repetition, the reluctance of teachers, assigning principals to give lectures on different topics, too many workshops of different topics, strict laws, hardness to win back reputation, the limited abilities to help cases of school faculty and the lack of receiving real feedbacks from teachers by feedback sheet. Finally, the changes of school prevention strategies were that the details of designs of activities and curriculums were polished concerning pupils, teachers paid more attention to judge events and changes of pupils and teachers were inclined to report. In the future, the study sample design may include teachers, government supervisors or senior high school teachers and principals in order to gain deeper information.

A amostra neste estudo é composta por 104 estudantes universitários com idades superiores a 17 anos que responderam a um questionário online. As variáveis neste estudo foram avaliadas com o instrumento “Violence Prevention Survey”. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que 4.8% da amostra foram vítimas de violência sexual e 1.9% foram perpetradores, bem como uma percentagem de 40.4% de vítimas de violência no namoro e 27.9% de perpetradores desta mesma violência. Foram encontradas consequências da violência sexual a nível académico, físico e emocional. Foram considerados fator de risco para perpetração de violência sexual aceitar os mitos da violação (p>0.005) e as afirmações da discriminação das mulheres (p<0.001). Metade da amostra não participou em qualquer programa de prevenção e intervenção na violência. Pode concluir-se que é urgente aplicar programas de prevenção e intervenção na violência de forma a formar os jovens o significado de consentimento, prevenindo a existência de agressores e ensinando os que rodeiam a vítima como intervir se necessário.
There are still few studies in Portugal on sexual violence in colleges and, given the rates of sexual violence victimization in college students internationally, this study aims to assess the situation of sexual violence in Portugal, trying to understand its consequences, risk factors and the existence of prevention and intervention programs in this type of violence, as well as their effectiveness. The sample in this study is composed of 104 college students over 17 years old who answered an online questionnaire. The variables in this study were evaluated with the “Violence Prevention Survey” as instrument. The results show that 4.8% of the sample were victims of sexual violence and 1.9% were perpetrators, as well as 40.4% were victims of dating violence and 27.9% were perpetrators of sexual violence. Consequences of sexual violence were found at academic, physical and emotional levels. Accepting the myth rapes were considered a risk factor of perpetrating sexual violence (p> 0.005) as well as the discrimination against women (p <0.001). Half of the sample did not participate in any violence prevention and intervention program. In conclusion, it’s urgent to implement prevention and intervention programs in violence in order to educate young people the meaning of consent, preventing the existence of aggressors and teaching those around the victim how to intervene if necessary.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: One in five college women report being sexually assaulted (National Sexual Violence Resource Center, 2015) with college being the time when men are more likely to commit a sexual assault (Burgess, 2007). Victimization detracts from their college experience, leading to poor academic performance or less institutional commitment. College women who are victims of sexual assault are also at a higher risk of participating in risky sexual behavior. To reduce the prevalence of sexual assault at universities, it is important to develop effective prevention programs that can target and change attitudes and beliefs that contribute to the continued perpetuation of sexual violence on college campuses. Although there are multiple studies that examine the perspectives of sexual assault among college students, specifically rape myths, the majority of that research is quantitative and does not provide an in depth understanding of their beliefs and the potential factors that contribute to those beliefs. The purpose of this study was to provide an in depth analysis of the attitudes and beliefs about sexual assault among college students.
Twenty-five female and 20 male college students participated in semi-structured focus groups or interviews. Open coding was used to gain an understanding of their beliefs concerning sexual assault. Results demonstrated that students possess multiple and often contradictory beliefs about sexual assault and issues that contribute to those beliefs that can be addressed and changed using sexual assault prevention. Three of those broad themes included barriers to talking about sexual assault, social and cultural norms that contribute to sexual assault and how college students communicate their sexual needs and desires, including consent. This research reveals that researchers and advocates do not have a complete understanding of perspectives of sexual assault among college students. Prevention programs may have been developed based on incomplete information and assumptions about what college students believe. Therefore, this study provides information that can be used to develop intervention programs that specifically target the most relevant ideas about sexual assault that are most relevant to the experiences of college students.Dissertation/Thesis
