Campus Action Against Sexual Assault: Needs, Policies, Procedures, and Training Programs - Hardcover
by Michele a. Paludi (Editor)
A practical guide to prevention of and response to sexual assault on college campuses, this invaluable resource will help ensure Title IX compliance--and can also help reduce the incidence of these all-too-prevalent events.
The frequency of sexual assault on college campuses is startlingly high. Notwithstanding this fact, most campus officials are not trained in the psychology of the victimization process, while most students are not aware of their reporting options. A practical guide to sexual assault at colleges and universities, this book integrates theories and empirical research with information about legislation and techniques to help college administrators deal with--and prevent--these disturbing offenses. The work brings together a team of experts who discuss various types of assault, including rape, stalking, intimate partner violence, and sexual harassment, and detail the legal, educational, and federal responses to such events on college campuses. They address federal and state laws, including new bills being proposed in Congress, and present research on the physical and psychological dimensions of sexual assault. Perhaps most important, the book shows how human resource techniques and principles can be used to establish preventative measures and to respond appropriately when sexual assault does occur. Students' accounts of prevention training and education enhance the scholarly and legal contributions to this important--and timely--volume.Michele A. Paludi, PhD, is the author/editor of 52 college textbooks and more than 200 scholarly articles and conference presentations on sexual harassment, campus violence, psychology of women, gender, and discrimination.
