The Legal System
Because the law defines rape as a crime, it is important to examine historical legal definitions and past and contemporary legal processes as they relate to sexual assault. Historically, the law conceptualized rape as the violation of a man’s property. It was a man’s, specifically a husband’s or a partner’s, personal privilege to have access […]

On the contrary, modern sexologists see it as a form of sperm quality control: in that way it can never become old and over-ripe. Truman Capote said the interesting thing about masturbation was that he […]
Preventing Sexual Harassment
The first step in reducing the incidence of sexual harassment is to acknowledge the problem. Too many people deny its existence. Because sexual harassers usually have more power, it is difficult for victims to come forward to disclose their victimization. University officials and administrators need to work together to provide educational opportunities and assistance for […]
Incidence and Reporting of Harassment
It is estimated that 25% to 30% of college students report experiences of sexual harassment (Menard et al., 2003). Sexual harassment on campus usually involves sexist comments, jokes, or touching, and the majority of students do not report it (Menard et al., 2003). Federal law prohibits the sexual harassment of college students, and victims of […]
Preventing Intimate Partner Violence
Several factors have been found to be related to IPV, including a history of IPV in the offender’s family and excessive alcohol use (Leonard, 2005; Lipsky et al., 2005). Educational programs can help educate the public about intimate partner violence. Safe housing for victims of IPV can also reduce the likelihood of future abuse. Today […]
