The USES is a quantitative panel study, which has investigated unwanted sexual experiences on a New England university campus in 1988, 2000, 2006, and 2012. Each panel, or separate year of the study, was made up of the same set of approximately 115 questions addressing unwanted sexual experiences on the campus. -
National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey 2010 Summary Report
Sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence are major public health problems in the United States. Many survivors of these forms of violence can experience physical injury, mental health consequences such as depression, anxiety, low selfesteem, and suicide attempts, and other health consequences such as gastrointestinal disorders, substance abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, and gynecological or pregnancy complications. These consequences can lead to hospitalization, disability, or death. -
Fraternities and Collegiate Rape Culture: Why Are Some Fraternities More Dangerous Places for Women?
Social interactions atfraternities that undergraduate women identified as places where there is a high risk of rape are compared to those atfraternities identified as low risk as well as two local bars. Factors that contribute to rape are common on this campus; however, both men and women behaved differently in different settings. Implications of thesefindings are considered. -

Finally, it reviews responses to the problem and what is known about them from evaluative research and police practice. -
Alcohol-Related Sexual Assault: A Common Problem among College Students
This article summarizes research on the role of alcohol in college students’ sexual assault experiences. Sexual assault is extremely common among college students. At least half of these sexual assaults involve alcohol consumption by the perpetrator, the victim or both. -
Female Perpetrators and Male Victims of Sexual Abuse: Facts and Resources
When Michael munson and I did the largest study to date on transgender survivors of sexual violence in 2004, we were very surprised at one of our findings: 29.29% of the survivors had been sexually abused by one or more women. As we presented those findings at various conferences and workshops, we’d note that we didn’t know what to make of this data, since it seemed so high. We also noted an “extremely high” rate of sexual assault survivors who were perceived as male at the time of their assault(s). -
Sexual Coercion Context and Psychosocial Correlates Among Diverse Males
Sexual coercion is a pervasive problem but rarely examined in men. This study examined sexual coercion and psychosocial correlates among 284 diverse adolescent and emerging adult males in high school and college. -
The Sexual Victimization of Men in America: New Data Challenge Old Assumptions Read More: http://a
We assessed 12-month prevalence and incidence data on sexual victimization in 5 federal surveys that the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted independently in 2010 through 2012. We used these data to examine the prevailing assumption that men rarely experience sexual victimization. We concluded that federal surveys detect a high prevalence of sexual victimization among men—in many circumstances similar to the prevalence found among women. We identified factors that perpetuate misperceptions about men’s sexual victimization: reliance on traditional gender stereotypes, outdated and inconsistent definitions, and methodological sampling biases that exclude inmates. We recommend changes that move beyond regressive gender assumptions, which can harm both women and men. -
Estimate of the Incidence of Drug-Facilitated Sexual Assault in the U.S.
The term drug-facilitated sexual assault (DFSA) has been recently coined to describe victims who were given a drug by an assailant and subsequently sexually assaulted. Previous studies that have attempted to determine the prevalence of drugs in sexual assault complainants have had serious biases. This research was designed to better estimate the rate of DFSA and to examine the social aspects surrounding it. -
Violent Victimization of College Students
On average between 1995 and 2000, college students were victims of about 526,000 crimes of violence annually: rape/sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault. Of these violent crimes, an average of about 128,120 per year involved a weapon or serious injury to the victim. -
The Campus Sexual Assault (CSA) Study
Sexual assault is a public health and public safety problem with far-reaching implications. Although a substantial body of research on sexual assault exists, additional data are needed to help document the current magnitude of the problem, the extent to which certain subpopulations are impacted, the consequences and reporting (or nonreporting) of victimization incidents, and strategies for preventing and reducing the risk of sexual assault and effectively responding to victims. -
Full Report of the Prevalence, Incidence, and Consequences of Violence Against Women
To further understanding of violence against women, the National Institute of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention jointly sponsored, through a grant to the Center for Policy Research, a national survey that was conducted from November 1995 to May 1996. The National Violence Against Women (NVAW) Survey sampled both women and men and thus provides comparable data on women’s and men’s experiences with violent victimization. -

Measuring Rape Against Women: The Significance of Survey Questions
Administrative decisions concerning the two studies created a unique opportunity to compare rape estimates generated from a quasi-experimental research design. This design addressed several methodological issues (e.g., sampling design, question wording) that previous scholars had speculated influenced diverging estimates of rape. -

Denying Rape but Endorsing Forceful Intercourse: Exploring Differences Among Responders
Sexual assault is a problem on many college campuses, and many researchers have conducted studies assessing the prevalence of sexual assault perpetration and intentions to be coercive. Behaviorally descriptive survey items (i.e., “Have you ever coerced somebody to intercourse by holding them down?”) versus labeling survey items (i.e., “Have you ever raped somebody?”) will yield different responses.
