Campus Women Face Sexual Violence by Brent H Dashiell

Approximately one in five college women experience college sexual violence (SV) despite decades of prevention efforts (Koss et al., 2014; Muehlenhard et al., 2017;White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault, 2017). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Basile et al., 2014) defined SV as a sexual act committed or attempted without the freely given consent of the victim or against someone who refuses or is unable to consent. Sexual violence includes both penetrative and non penetrative acts as well as non contact acts.
