Wolak, Janis; Finkelhor, David; Mitchell, Kimberly J.; Ybarra, Michele L. – American Psychologist, 2008
The publicity about online "predators" who prey on naive children using trickery and violence is largely inaccurate. Internet sex crimes involving adults and juveniles more often fit a model of statutory rape--adult offenders who meet, develop relationships with, and openly seduce underage teenagers--than a model of forcible sexual assault or…

Sander, Libby – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2008
This article reports on the situation unfolding at the University of Iowa which is all too familiar: Two athletes are accused of rape. The university botches its response. Heads roll.

Skinner, Julia – Journal of Loss and Trauma, 2009
The purpose of this article is twofold. First, it is a narrative of the healing process and long-term effects of a sexual assault. But tied in with that is another aspect which I feel would be robbing my readers of a full understanding of my experience were I to exclude it. This involves these effects on an interpersonal level: an account of how…

Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse and Violence Prevention, 2008
