1. “Campus Sexual Violence: Statistics”, RAINN, https://www.rainn.org/statistics/campus-sexual-violence. Accessed 27 September 2016.
From the title, it is easily to see that the report talks about the statistics related to the campus sexual violence topic. It includes any things that you need to know, from the percentage of students having experience sexual assault to how campus law enforcement proves its usefulness in helping solve the problem.
Though the report was written by RAINN- Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, America's largest anti-sexual violence organization, the figures were actually from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), which is an annual …show more content…

Since “11.2% of all students experience rape or sexual assault through physical force, violence, or incapacitation (among all graduate and undergraduate students)” and college women are even more likely to be sexually assaulted than robbed, it’s clear that sexual violence has being a nightmare to the students in campuses.
2. DeGue, Sarah, et al. “Preventing Sexual Violence on College Campuses: Lessons from Research and Practice”. 2014. Print.
The report “Preventing Sexual Violence on College Campuses: Lessons from Research and Practice” was written by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s staffs in 2014to be used by the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault. It was divided into 3 parts: statistics of the previous sexual assault prevention strategies, prevention activities done by CDC’s program and additional examples of campus prevention programs. There are also several tables being included as the appendices to back up the report.
As mentioned above, the report was used by the White House, which means its reliability is undoubtable. That’s the reason why this report plays an important role in proving the potentiality of the sexual assault prevention program. Without it, it would be a lot harder to convince people, especially students to support and take part in the …show more content…

“The Problem”. Sexual Assault On College Campuses, https://uconncampuscrime.wordpress.com/the-problem/. Accessed 27 September 2016.
In her article “Sexual Assault on College Campuses”, which was posted on Deviantart.com on December 13th 2008, Julia Arielle stated that sexual assault has been a serious issue as well as mentioned some strategies to prevent or deal with the problem.
The article was written to serve the University of Connecticut’s attempt to eliminate sexual violence out of its campus. As a result, every information, though have been kept short, is very clear, convincing and goes straight to the point. The statistics have been gathered by the UConn’s Women Center from trustable sources so the reliability factor is guaranteed.
As it was published in 2008, the article’s statistics might seem to be out of date. However, to make it up, other sections in the paragraph provide basic yet useful knowledge that everyone should know.
In spite of the helpful information, this article doesn’t really help much in the process of writing the proposal. To begin with, the statistics, despite their reliabilities, were gathered 8 years ago and focus mainly on the rape issue and rape is just a part of sexual assault. Secondly, though there are 5 sections in the articles, the “Risk Reduction for Men & Women” and “How to help” part are the only two that I could use in my work as they help me get the ideal of what people should learn in the sexual assault prevention

    In an article written by John Alan Fox, Fox makes the broad claim that sexual assault is in an era of, “...Hype and hysteria--far out of proportion with the actual risk…” and “The often - repeated yet exaggerated claim that one in five college females are sexually assaulted during their undergraduate years…” (Fox, para 1&2 ). The claims of sexual assault have become more constant in the past years, yes the claims are repeated, but in no way are most claims of sexual assault “exaggerated”. It truthfully takes the victim a while to even talk to a friend about their assault let alone report it, “When students nationwide were asked why they did not report incidents of sexual misconduct...because they were ‘embarrassed, ashamed or that it would be too emotionally difficult’...” (Campus Sexual Assault Survey Details Prevalence at UT Austin and 26 Other US Universities, para 16). The claim of the “one in five college females” is an often repeated claim that many see in sexual assault campaigns and is most common among college women, but, “Sexual violence happens to people of all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, religions, abilities, professions, incomes and ethnicities” (Info and Stats on Sexual Assault, pg 9). In fact, “The rates of sexual assault and misconduct are highest among undergraduate women and transgender, gender queer

  • Addressing Sexual Assault Prevalence on College Campuses

    1007 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sexual assault is defined as any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient. Falling under the definition of sexual assault are sexual activities as forced sexual intercourse, forcible sodomy, child molestation, incest, fondling, and In the United States 80% of sexual assault victims are under the age of 30. Of that 80%, 44% are under the age of 18 (RAINN, 2016). That leaves 36% of victims between the ages of 18 and 30. These percentages become even more alarming when that 80% is of about 293,000 victims of secual assualt each year (RAINN, 2016). It is estimated that 1 in every 6 women in the US has been or will be victims of sexual assault in their lifetime. The risks of sexual assault increase on college campuses. Women ages 18-24 who are enrolled in college are 3 times more likely than women in general to suffer from sexual violence (RAINN, 2016). One would think that with all these women being sexually assaulted, one would hear more about it, or perhaps the police stations would constantly be busy. This is not the case. Sexual assault is one of the most unreported crimes, with 68% still being left unreported (RAINN, 2016). This could be because of every 100 rapists, only 2 will spend a day in jail. Of the 32 out of 100 that would be reported, only 7 are referred to an arrest (RAINN, 2016). Why would men or women want to report sexual assault when the system that is supposed to protect them fails so often, and why does this system continue to fail?
