Kandakai, Tina L.; Ding, Kele; Broomfield, Tyree S.; Iverson, Susan V. – Journal of Ethnographic & Qualitative Research, 2013
The legal parameters regarding adult-child sexual intimacy varies across states.

To explore the criminal response to adult-child sex, particularly statutory rape, seven active male and…

Walsh, Kate; Gonsalves, Valerie M.; Scalora, Mario J.; King, Steve; Hardyman, Patricia L. – Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2012
Despite data indicating that child maltreatment (CM) in various forms is associated with adult sexual victimization among community women, few studies have explicitly explored how types of CM might relate to prison sexual victimization. Because little is known about "how" CM might give rise to prison sexual victimization, the present…

Hayes, Dianne – Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, 2012
The reality of rape and sexual harassment on college campuses has long been a burden that many institutions have struggled to address. The image of fraternity parties gone bad, date rape, and the incidents of stranger encounters on campus are all contrary to the idyllic image most universities want to portray. However, in light of several…

Rutherford, Alexandra – Psychology of Women Quarterly, 2011
Despite the undeniable, experiential reality of sexual violence in women's lives, sexual violence as a "public reality", and subsequently as a viable topic for social scientific and historical inquiry, did not emerge until this time. The women's liberation movement created the conditions that made possible--and salient--the articulation of the…
