How A University Sexual Assault Prevention Program Helps Students Seek Help

As found in one of the studies in today's Crime Research Update

Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is The Art of Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you think and write about crime.

Use this tip sheet to help you integrate the latest research into your work. It's a directory of new crime research published by the academic journals that I monitor, including, for example, this study listing:

The Impact of a University Sexual Assault Prevention Program on Student Comfort With Help-Seeking

Journal: Violence Against Women
Keywords: assault, violence, victim, victimization
First author: Melissa L. Kilmer (American University, School of Public Affairs, Washington, DC, USA) [+2 other authors]

In this study, researchers found that students who took sexual assault prevention programs were more comfortable seeking help for having been assaulted.

You’ll find more listings for today’s new research below.

The research listings for today's research are sorted by two broad categories: crime type and criminal justice/legal system stage. Research that doesn’t get sorted into those categories follows under “Unsorted Research.”
