Abstract

This webinar published by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) discusses implications and recommendations for the prevention of sexual assault, dating violence, and harassment on college campuses in the U.S. based on findings from an NIJ-funded study on Population and Subgroup Differences in Prevalence and Predictors of Campus Sexual Assaults. Audience members participate in a discussion of strategies and considerations for violence prevention on college campuses that target campus-level factors contributing to victimization and perpetration. The webinar also provides recommendations for further study. The webinar aims to help the viewer understand differences in the prevalence and patterns of victimization among college student subgroups; identify implications for intervention and prevention strategies to reduce relationship and sexual violence on college campuses; and identify potential approaches to furthering knowledge on structural factors contributing to victimization and perpetration experiences among college students
