Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Routine activities theory posits that for a crime to occur, there needs to be the convergence of a willing offender, a suitable target and the lack of a capable guardian (Cohen & Felson, 1979). Since the passage of the Clery Act, colleges and universities have primarily focused on how to make offenders less "willing" or targets less "suitable" (Potter, Krider & McMahon, 2000), while ignoring the third of these converging factors: increasing guardianship. Recent research indicates that increasing the capable guardianship of fellow students through bystander intervention education may be a promising way to utilize informal social control to prevent crimes against women on campus (Banyard, 2008; Coker et al., 2011).

Book excerpt: Rates of collegiate relationship violence are at an all-time high (Breiding, 2015). Although colleges and universities are taking steps towards reducing these rates, recent research has uncovered a fatal flaw in their methods: terminology. Lederman and Stewart (2003) surveyed relationship violence prevention campaigns across college campuses, finding 'domestic violence' as the most widely used name for collegiate relationship violence, yet also the one college students were least comfortable with using. 298 students at a large, southeastern university completed a survey through the online distribution tool Qualtrics. Using a basic 1-7 Likert Scale, students were asked to rate the appropriateness of the following terms: domestic violence, dating violence, dating abuse, intimate partner violence, intimate terrorism, and common couple violence. Findings indicate that students were significantly more likely to attribute the terms domestic violence, dating violence, and dating abuse to a situation if the perpetrator of violence was male rather than female. When partners were dating, students felt most comfortable with the terms 'dating violence' and 'dating abuse.' Most importantly, terminology was found to be correlated with perceptions of severity, blame, and recommendations for bystander action. Ultimately, this study suggests that schemas surround each possible relationship violence term, and offers the idea that simply adjusting what college student deem as 'domestic violence' could unlock the key to bystander intervention efforts and violence reduction in the future.

Download or read book Perceptions about Dating Violence Among Community College Student Leaders written by Keyla Decos and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dating violence is a serious public health and safety problem in colleges and universities. Due to its prevalence, many universities and colleges across the nation have started to implement programs for the prevention and intervention of dating violence. Dating violence can have serious implications in students’ health that can affect their academic success. College students who experience dating violence are at higher risk to develop depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress. Studies have demonstrated that students who experience dating violence usually disclose it to peers and friends, but oftentimes their peers do not have the necessary skills to be able to help them. This was an exploratory study, which used a convenient sample comprised of 53 student leaders from an urban community college. Most of the participants were second year students, they were mostly vii females (n = 24) and males (n = 27), between the ages of 18 through 27 years old, mostly heterosexual, White and Hispanic/Latino. The participants held leadership roles as courseembedded tutors and lead peer mentors on campus. This study measured their perceptions and knowledge about dating violence. To measure these two variables (perceptions and knowledge), the researcher used two questionnaires that were previously used by Khubchandani et al (2012) to assess high school counselors' knowledge, training, perceptions, and practices on dealing with dating violence. To fit with this current study, the researcher made one modification to the perceptions’ questionnaire. The modification consisted of changing the words “school counselors” to “student leaders.” Descriptive and frequency statistics were calculated and measured participants’ perceptions and knowledge about dating violence. Statistical findings suggested that participants were willing to help in the prevention and intervention of dating violence in the community college by learning strategies in the prevention and intervention of dating violence. However, statistical findings demonstrated that participants significantly lacked knowledge about what constitutes dating violence. This study also included a short questionnaire with demographical questions that analyzed gender differences between females and males’ scores from bot questionnaires. Independent sample t-tests were calculated and findings demonstrated that there were no statistical gender differences between participants for neither the perceptions questionnaire nor the knowledge questionnaire about dating violence.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This honors thesis attempts to find the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IVP) at the Pennsylvania State University - University Park Campus. It primarily tests the General Strain Theory to evaluate if IVP can have a significant effect on mental health which in turn would affect an individual's college GPA. To answer this question, a survey using a modified version of the Conflict Tactic Scale (Strauss 2004), a scale often used by researchers to measure dating and relationship violence, was distributed anonymously in various classes on campus. Ultimately, the study obtained 70 participants but because not all participants answered all of the questions, the results of 56 participants were evaluated. Results showed that there is no impact of IPV on college GPA; however, the only thing we found to be consistent with the general strain theory is that mental health is a significant predictor of college GPA, however, based on this study we cannot accurately and distinctly trace mental health with IPV. Further analysis needs to be in place in order to determine the relationship between IPV and mental health and then the relationship to GPA.

Download or read book Woman Abuse in Rural Places written by Walter S. DeKeseredy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book chronicles key contemporary developments in the social scientific study of various types of male-to-female abuse in rural places and suggests new directions in research, theory, and policy. The main objective of this book is not to simply provide a dry recitation of the extant literature on the abuse of rural women in private places. To be sure, this material is covered, but rural women’s experiences of crimes of the powerful like genocidal rape and corporate violence against female employees are also examined. Written by a celebrated expert on the subject, this book considers woman abuse in a broad context, covering forms of violence such as physical and sexual assault, coercive control genocidal rape, abortion bans, forced pregnancy, and corporate forms of violence. It offers a broad research agenda, that examines the multidimensional nature of violence against rural women. Drawing on decades of work in the shelter movement, with activist organizations, and doing government research, DeKeseredy punctuates the book with stories and voices of perpetrators and survivors of abuse. Additionally, what makes this book unique is that it focuses on the plight of rural women around the world and it introduces a modified version of Liz Kelly’s original continuum of sexual violence. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, women’s studies, cultural studies, policing, geography and all those interested in learning about the abuse women face in rural areas. Walter S. DeKeseredy is Anna Deane Carlson Endowed Chair of Social Sciences, Director of the Research Center on Violence, and Professor of Sociology at West Virginia University. He has published 26 books, over 100 refereed journal articles, and 90 scholarly book chapters on issues such as woman abuse, rural criminology, and criminological theory.
