Though this exercise was originally designed for a first year course in women's studies that emphasizes representations of girls and women, it is also entirely appropriate to students considering matters of gender and sexuality in the fields of media studies, communications, sociology, political science, and cultural studies.

Reyes, H. Luz McNaughton; Foshee, Vangie A. – Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 2013
Investigators have identified a number of factors that increase risk for physical and psychological dating abuse perpetration during adolescence, but as yet little is known about the etiology of sexual dating aggression during this critical developmental period. This is an important gap in the literature given that research suggests that patterns…

Armato, Michael; Fuller, Laurie; Matthews, Nancy A.; Meiners, Erica R. – Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies, 2013
According to the authors, in 2008 and 2009 a coalition of faculty, anchored by Women's Studies, challenged a proposal to bring United States Army Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) courses onto their urban public university campus.

Ridgard, Tamique J.; Laracy, Seth D.; DuPaul, George J.; Shapiro, Edward S.; Power, Thomas J. – Communique, 2015
The mental health field has long recognized the negative consequences associated with a range of traumatic events, including physical assault, sexual assault, natural or man-made disasters, accidents, and medical incidents (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013). The shockingly high prevalence of exposure to violence among America's…

McMahon, Sarah; Postmus, Judy L.; Koenick, Ruth Anne – Journal of College Student Development, 2011
Bystander intervention offers promise as a sexual violence prevention tool for student affairs administrators on college campuses, but the conceptualization and definition of the approach is in its infancy and needs further development. In an effort to emphasize the potential role of bystanders in the primary prevention of sexual violence, we put…

This study explores the experiences of male college students who participated in a theatre-based, peer-education, sexual assault prevention presentation.

Norris, Jeanette – Psychology of Women Quarterly, 2011
When the author started graduate school in the late 1970s, she was drawn to studying sexual assault. She had been a declared feminist since high school as the Women's Movement even reached the coal region of eastern Pennsylvania! Attending college in New York City, with its myriad opportunities for more exposure to what feminists were up to, made…

Potter, Sharyn J.; Stapleton, Jane G. – Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2012
One population that shares both similar and different characteristics with traditional college-age students is the U.S. Military. Similarities include a high concentration of 18- to 26-year-olds dealing with new found independence, peer pressure, and the presence of social norms that support violence and hypermasculinity. Sexual violence is a…

The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is an epidemiologic surveillance system that was established by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to help monitor the prevalence of behaviors that not only influence youth health, but also put youth at risk for the most significant health and social problems that can occur during…

Finkelhor, David; Ormrod, Richard; Turner, Heather; Hamby, Sherry – Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, 2012
Considerable efforts have been made during the last generation to encourage children and their families to report victimization to authorities. Nonetheless, concern persists that most childhood victimization remains hidden. The 2008 inventory of childhood victimization--the National Study of Children's Exposure to Violence (NatSCEV)--allowed an…

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…

Woodhams, Jessica; Cooke, Claire; Harkins, Leigh; da Silva, Teresa – Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2012
Sexual offences by multiple perpetrators are more violent and involve more severe forms of sexual violation than those perpetrated by a lone offender. Often a clear leader exists within these groups. Questions have been raised as to the relative risk of reoffending and the potentially differing criminogenic needs of leaders and followers. However,…

Newring, Kirk A. B.; Wheeler, Jennifer G. – International Journal of Behavioral Consultation and Therapy, 2012
We have previously discussed the application of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) with adults who have committed sexual offense behaviors (Newring & Wheeler, 2010). The present entry borrows heavily from the foundation presented in that chapter, and extends this approach to working with adolescents, youth, and juveniles with sexual offense…
