Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] Although there is a perception of college and university campuses as sanctuaries of learning, they are not always safe places for women. The studies by the Carnegie Foundation for Higher Education as well as other research on violence against women confirm sexual harassment and dating violence as significant barriers to women 's educational achievement. Ernest Boyer, former President of the Carnegie Foundation, envisioned the college campus as a community of learners where civility is affirmed, diversity pursued, group obligations guide behavior, individuals are supported and service is encouraged, and traditions are celebrated and shared. This vision has strong parallels with efforts to develop coordinated campus responses to violence against women. Based on a case study of a strategic alliance within a university and between the university and community-based organization, this article highlights the achievements of this collaboration along with the role of a school of social work in facilitating this alliance.

Empowering Bystanders to Prevent Campus Violence Against Women
[|Potter, Sharyn] ; [|Moynihan, Mary] ; [|Stapleton, Jane G] ; [|Banyard, Victoria]. [|**Violence Against Women**][|5. 1](Jan 2009): 106-121. [|Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers] [|Hide highlighting] [|Show duplicate items from other databases]

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] Researchers at a midsized public northeastern university evaluated the efficacy of a poster campaign to determine if students increase their knowledge of prosocial bystander behaviors and willingness to intervene in instances of sexual violence after viewing a series of campaign posters where student actors model appropriate bystander behaviors. During the last week of the campaign, undergraduates were invited to participate in a Web survey. The results of this preliminary evaluation indicate promising variation in the awareness of students who reported seeing the campaign compared to those who did not.

==Evaluation of Green Dot: An Active Bystander Intervention to Reduce Sexual Violence on College Campuses== [|Coker, Ann] ; [|Cook-Craig, Patricia G] ; [|Williams, Corrine] ; [|Fisher, Bonnie] ; [|Clear, Emily] ; et al. [|**Violence Against Women**][|7. 6] (Jun 2011): 777-796. [|Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers] [|Hide highlighting] [|Show duplicate items from other databases]

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] Using a cross-sectional survey of a random sample of 7,945 college undergraduates, we report on the association between having received Green Dot active bystander behavior training and the frequency of actual and observed self-reported active bystander behaviors as well as violence acceptance norms. Of 2,504 students aged 18 to 26 who completed the survey, 46% had heard a Green Dot speech on campus, and 14% had received active bystander training during the past 2 years. Trained students had significantly lower rape myth acceptance scores than did students with no training. Trained students also reported engaging in significantly more bystander behaviors and observing more self-reported active bystander behaviors when compared with nontrained students. When comparing self-reported active bystander behavior scores of students trained with students hearing a Green Dot speech alone, the training was associated with significantly higher active bystander behavior scores. Those receiving bystander training appeared to report more active bystander behaviors than those simply hearing a Green Dot speech, and both intervention groups reported more observed and active bystander behaviors than nonexposed students.

Recognizing the implications of family violence on child wellbeing: A grant proposal
[|Johnson, Serena G]. ProQuest, Ann Arbor MI, 2011. AAI1486316. [|Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers] [|Hide highlighting] [|Show duplicate items from other databases]

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] Family violence is a quiet epidemic currently gaining greater attention and notoriety in American society. The organization seeking funding, Human Options, has provided comprehensive programs for family violence for 27 years, but now faces budget shortfalls. Social workers are called upon to pursue social change and provide access to needed information, services, and resources; particularly for vulnerable and oppressed peoples-even in economically difficult times. Families victimized by family violence are often vulnerable and oppressed even after the violence has ended due to systemic issues, such as contact with the justice system or issues of intergenerational violence. The Child Wellbeing and Stabilization program is a thesis grant proposal to provide funding to implement the following objectives: provide on- campus interventions for 40 children through school groups, provide psycho-educational parenting groups services for 50 parents, and provide crisis stabilization services for 50 adults.

Impact of Dating Violence on Male and Female College Students
[|Amanor-Boadu, Yvonne] ; [|Stith, Sandra] ; [|Miller, Marjorie Strachma] ; [|Cook, Joshua] ; [|Allen, Laure] ; et al. [|**Partner Abuse**][|. 3](2011): 323-343. [|Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers] [|Hide highlighting] [|Show duplicate items from other databases]

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] This study examined gender differences in impacts of dating violence (specifically minor and severe physical injury, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], problems with alcohol, self-esteem, and relationship satisfaction) using a sample of 305 male and 363 female undergraduate students. Multiple linear regression models were used to test for the effects of dating violence victimization on the eight outcome variables while controlling for the effects of perpetration and psychological victimization. Results indicated that physical violence victimization did not impact problems with alcohol, self-esteem, or relationship satisfaction for either males or females. However, being a victim of minor violence significantly increased the levels of depression, anxiety, and PTSD and being a victim of severe violence significantly increased minor and severe injury. Different gender effects were seen in anxiety and PTSD scores where male victims scored higher than male nonvictims, but female victims did not differ significantly from female nonvictims and in minor and severe injury where both male and female victims scored higher than nonvictims, but the difference between the two groups was greater for men on the severe injury subscale and greater for women on the minor injury subscale. Overall, results of our analyses indicate that both male and female victims of dating violence experience physical and mental health consequences and, on the whole, do not support previous findings that would suggest that female victims suffer a greater impact than male victims do.

==Sexual Assault on the College Campus: Fraternity Affiliation, Male Peer Support, and Low Self-Control== [|Franklin, Cortney] ; [|Bouffard, Leana Alle] ; [|Pratt, Travis]. [|**Criminal Justice and Behavior*][|39. 11] (Nov 2012): 1457-1480. [|Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers] [|Hide highlighting] [|Show duplicate items from other databases]

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] Research on college sexual assault has focused on offender behavior to understand why men perpetrate sexual violence. Dominant theories have incorporated forms of male peer support, paying particular attention to the impact of rape-supportive social relationships on woman abuse. In contrast, Gottfredson and Hirschi's general theory of crime proposes that low self-control predicts crime and other related life outcomes-including the kinds of antisocial peer relationships that the male peer support model contends causes sexual violence. The exclusion of measures of self-control on sexual assault may result in a misspecified peer support model. Accordingly, the current research empirically tests Schwartz and DeKeseredy's male peer support model and examines the role of self-control in the larger male peer support model of sexual assault. Implications for theory and research are discussed.

==When Can I help? A Conceptual Framework for the Prevention of Sexual Violence Through Bystander Intervention== [|McMahon, Sara] ; [|Banyard, Victoria]. [|**Trauma, Violence & Abuse**][|3. 1] (Jan 2012): 3-14. [|Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers] [|Hide highlighting] [|Show duplicate items from other databases]

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] The bystander intervention approach is gaining popularity as a means for engaging communities in sexual assault prevention, especially on college campuses. Many bystander programs are teaching community members how to intervene without first assisting them to identify the full range of opportunities when they can intervene. In this article, the authors review the literature on sexual violence bystander intervention and present a conceptual framework that lays out a continuum of bystander opportunities ranging from reactive situations after an assault has occurred, to situations before an assault has occurred (posing high to low risk to victims), as well as proactive situations where no risk to the victim is present. The implications of this typology are discussed in the context of program development, evaluation, and further research.

Sexual Violence Prevention and Technologies of Gender among Heavy Drinking College Women
[|Luke, Katherine P]. [|**Social Service Review**][|3. 1](Mar 2009): 79-109. [|Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers] [|Hide highlighting] [|Show duplicate items from other databases]

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] Feminist scholarship on sexual violence suggests that practices of normative masculinity and femininity, identified by some poststructuralists as technologies of gender, are causally related to sexual violence. Much of that research concentrates on the gendered interactions between men and women but does not sufficiently explore the interactions among women. Through analysis of 31 qualitative interviews, this article shows that interviewed heavy-drinking college women deploy technologies of gender in their interactions with other women and in their strategies for negotiating the risk of sexual violence. The results suggest that deconstructing technologies of gender offers new possibilities for sexual violence prevention in localized (e.g., campus ) contexts. Adapted from the source document.

Refining the Intergenerational Transmission Hypothesis

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] It is suggested that several features of aggression in family of origin aggression should be considered when trying to understand the intergenerational transmission of family aggression: frequency & severity of family of origin aggression, impact of the aggression, identification with parents, model & observer gender, & whether the aggression was witnessed or experienced. This hypothesis is supported by questionnaire data from 73 dating men & women on a college campus. A multiplicative index explains a significant proportion of the variance in current relationship aggression over & above each of the individual components. 5 Tables, 40 References.

Risk Factors for Male Sexual Aggression on College Campuses
[|Carr, Joetta] ; [|VanDeusen, Karen]. [|**Journal of Family Violence**][|9. 5] (Oct 2004): 279-289. [|Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers] [|Hide highlighting] [|Show duplicate items from other databases]

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] Risk factors for college male sexual aggression that were both theoretically & empirically based were tested using multivariate regression analyses. These included substance abuse patterns, pornography consumption, negative gender-based attitudes, & child sexual abuse experiences. Regression analyses indicated that some gender attitudes, pornography use, & alcohol abuse were significant predictors of perpetration of sexual violence. Although a number of men were sexually abused as children, this risk factor did not predict sexual aggression as an adult. Many men reported alcohol-related sexual coercion & held many rape-supportive attitudes & beliefs. These practices by college men contribute to the prorape cultures found on many campuses. Strategies are needed to identify & intervene with high-risk men to prevent sexual victimization of women in college. 6 Tables, 80 References. Adapted from the source document.

==Fear of Acquaintance versus Stranger Rape As a "Master Status": Towards Refinement of the "Shadow of Sexual Assault"== [|Wilcox, Pamel] ; [|Jordan, Carol] ; [|Pritchard, Adam]. [|**Violence and Victims**][|1. 3](Jun 2006): 355-370. [|Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers] [|Hide highlighting] [|Show duplicate items from other databases]

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] Using a sample of 1,010 women from a southeastern state university, we explore whether associations between fear of sexual assault & other crime-specific fears vary based on presumed victim-offender relationship. More specifically, we assess the extent to which fear of stranger- & acquaintance-perpetrated sexual assaults differ in the extent to which they are correlated with fear of other crime victimizations. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that both fear of stranger-perpetrated sexual assault & fear of acquaintance- perpetrated sexual assault were positively associated with nearly all other crime-specific fears under examination. However, associations were particularly strong between fear of sexual assault by a stranger & fear of other stranger-perpetrated crimes. Findings have significant implications for how academic institutions should comprehensively address direct & indirect negative influences of violence against college women.

==The Differential Risk Factors of Physically Forced and Alcohol- or Other Drug-Enabled Sexual Assault Among University Women== [|Krebs, Christopher P] [|Lindquist, Christine H] ; [|Warner, Tara D] ; [|Fisher, Bonnie S] [|Martin, Sandra L] [|**Violence and Victims**][|4. 3](2009): 302-321.

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] The Campus Sexual Assault Study examined whether undergraduate women 's victimization experiences prior to college and lifestyle activities during college were differentially associated with the type of sexual assault they experienced: physically forced sexual assault and incapacitated sexual assault. Self-reported data collected using a Web-based survey administered to more than 5,000 undergraduate women at two large public universities indicated that victimization experiences before college were differentially associated with the risk of experiencing these two types of sexual assault during college. Women who experienced forced sexual assault before college were at very high risk of experiencing forced sexual assault during college (odds ratio [OR] = 6.6). Women who experienced incapacitated sexual assault before college were also at very high risk of experiencing incapacitated sexual assault during college (OR = 3.7). Moreover, women 's substance use behaviors during college, including getting drunk and using marijuana, were strongly associated with experiencing incapacitated sexual assault but were not associated with experiencing forced sexual assault. Implications for education and prevention programs, as well as future research directions, are discussed. Adapted from the source document.

==College Women's Experiences of Sexual Coercion: A Review of Cultural, Perpetrator, Victim, and Situational Variables== [|Adams-Curtis, Leah E] ; [|Forbes, Gordon]. [|**Trauma, Violence, & Abuse: A Review Journal**][|. 2](Apr 2004): 91-122. [|Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers] [|Hide highlighting] [|Show duplicate items from other databases]

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] The literature on college women 's experiences with sexual coercion is reviewed, with an emphasis on work published since 1990. Sexual coercion is defined as any situation in which one person uses verbal or physical means (including the administration of drugs or alcohol, with or without the other person's consent) to obtain sexual activity against consent. We argue that coercive sexual behavior among college students can best be understood within the context of other sexual behaviors & values on college campuses. Significant definitional & methodological problems are identified & discussed. Important victim, perpetrator, & situational variables are identified & discussed. These include attitudes toward women, beliefs about sexual behavior (including rape-supporting beliefs & values), communication problems, coercion-supporting peer groups (including fraternities & athletics), concepts of masculinity & femininity, sexual promiscuity, & alcohol. 218 References.

==A Strategy for Increasing Postrape Medical Care and Forensic Examination. Marketing Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners to the College Population== [|Konradi, Amand]. [|**Violence Against Women**][|. 8](Aug 2003): 955-988. [|Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers] [|Hide highlighting] [|Show duplicate items from other databases]

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] Despite the physical and emotional damage of sexual assault, most raped women do not receive postassault medical care. This article describes a social marketing strategy to sell sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) services available on a college campus directly to matriculated students (potential victims and allies). Significant results found in postcampaign surveys were that the majority of students saw posters and generally retained the information in them, students exposed to more sources of information had more accurate knowledge of services, and students' recommendations concerning SANE usage reflected their exposure to information and their perception of assault risk. The article concludes with policy recommendations.

==An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Sexual Assault Education Program Focusing on Psychological Barriers to Resistance== [|Breitenbecher, Kimberly Hanson] ; [|Scarce, Michael]. [|**Journal of Interpersonal Violence**][|6. 5](May 2001): 387-407. [|Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers] [|Hide highlighting] [|Show duplicate items from other databases]

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] The purpose of the present investigation was to empirically evaluate the effectiveness of a sexual assault education program. Participants in this study included 94 college women who were randomly assigned to either the treatment group or control group. Early in the academic year, all women responded to survey instruments assessing history of sexual victimization, general knowledge about sexual assault, dating behaviors, sexual communication, perception of risk for experiencing sexual aggression, resistance strategy, self-blame, disclosure of the experience, & reporting of the assault to the police or campus security. At the time of the initial session, women in the treatment group also participated in a 90-minute sexual assault education program focusing on psychological barriers to resistance. Participants in both groups returned for a 7-month follow-up session & responded to survey instruments again. Results indicate that the sexual assault education program was unsuccessful in influencing any of the outcome variables. 1 Appendix, 43 References. Adapted from the source document.

Friends of Survivors: The Community Impact of Unwanted Sexual Experiences
[|Banyard, Victoria] ; [|Moynihan, Mary] ; [|Walsh, Wendy] ; [|Cohn, Ellen] ; [|Ward, Sall]. [|**Journal of Interpersonal Violence*][|25. 2](Feb 2010): 242-256. [|Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers] [|Hide highlighting] [|Show duplicate items from other databases]

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] Since sexual assault survivors are most likely to disclose their experiences to a friend; prevention efforts increasingly focus on friends as informal helpers. The current study examined friends' perceptions of the disclosure experience. Undergraduates (N=1,241) at the University of New Hampshire completed a shortened version of the Ahrens and Campbell (2000) Impact on Friends measure. Results found that about 1 in 3 female undergraduates and 1 in 5 male students were told by a friend that they were a victim of an unwanted sexual experience. Gender differences were found in friends' responses to disclosure. Women reported greater emotional distress in response to a friend's disclosure, greater positive responses and lesser-perceived confusion/ineffectiveness as compared to men. Implications include the need to develop specific and clear educational material to help the community cope with and effectively respond to unwanted sexual experiences on college campuses.

Rape Myth Beliefs and Bystander Attitudes Among Incoming College Students
[|McMahon, Sara]. [|**Journal of American College Health**][|9. 1](Jul 2010): 3-11. [|Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers] [|Hide highlighting] [|Show duplicate items from other databases]

Abstract (summary)
[|Translate] [|Abstract] Objective: The bystander approach to rape prevention is gaining popularity on college campuses, although research is limited. This study explored bystander attitudes and their relationship with rape myths in a sample of college students. Participants: Surveys from 2,338 incoming undergraduate students at a large, northeastern university were analyzed. Methods: Participants completed revised versions of the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale and the Bystander Attitude Scale. Results: A higher acceptance of rape myths was reported by males, those pledging a fraternity/sorority, athletes, those without previous rape education, and those who did not know someone sexually assaulted. A greater willingness to intervene as a bystander was reported by females, those who had previous rape education, and those who knew someone sexually assaulted. Acceptance of rape myths was negatively related to willingness to intervene. Conclusions: Bystander intervention programs should include content on rape myths as well as focus on the role of gender.
