I argue that the same type of gender-power relations continue to dominate the region, notably Serbia, and to perpetuate gender…

Palmer, Jane E.; Alda, Erik – Review of Higher Education, 2016
Sexual assault on college campuses is persistently underreported; therefore, Clery Act sexual assault statistics are not strong indicators of incidence. Instead, they may indicate whether students feel comfortable reporting on a particular campus. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the Office on Violence Against Women Campus…

Kerner, Laura Lynn; Kerner, Jim; Herring, Susan D. – Journal of Academic Administration in Higher Education, 2017
Recent sexual assault scandals have brought public attention to the fact that there is a need for colleges to aggressively address the issues surrounding sexual assaults on their campuses. Studies indicate that one in four women are being sexually assaulted each year, but few women report this. Women suffer major psychological issues when…

Research has indicated that conservative religious beliefs increase the prevalence of victim blaming. In order to see if this pattern extended to college administrators, we used a…

Yoder, Jamie; Bovard-Johns, Rian M. – Child & Youth Care Forum, 2017
Background: Delinquency research argues that youth religion and spirituality are associated with desistence.

Asceticism within religious doctrine coupled with Social Bonding Theory, suggests perhaps existential and secular…
