| Description: |
Integrating rich, up-to-date data and current research and theory, this first-of-its kind text explores the nature and dimensions of this social problem, and provides a focus on the research of scholars who hope to help prevent sexual assault on campuses. |
| Synopsis: |
This text presents two interrelated perspectives of sexual victimization on college campuses. First, it discusses the nature and dimensions of a salient social problem: the sexual victimization of college women. Second, it discusses how scholars have participated in this movement to understand the origins, nature, extent, and ways to prevent the sexual victimization, especially on college campuses. Essentially, the aim of this text is to be a conduit through which students will learn much about the nature of victimization and much about the way in which criminologists, victimologists, and social scientists conduct research that informs theory and policy debates. |
