Sexual Assault on Campus: What Colleges and Universities Are Doing About It

摘要

Sexual assault on the Nation's college campuses has been receiving more attention lately. Schools are not the safe havens they once appeared to be; college women are at higher risk for sexual assault than their non-college bound peers. Congress has enacted several laws requiring schools to disclose their security procedures, report crime data, and ensure victims' rights. In 1999, it asked the National Institute of Justice to study school compliance with Federal law. The resulting research report provides a comprehensive benchmark of sexual assault policy on the Nation's campuses. This Research for Practice presents key findings from the report.
