This event is the last of four in the Series on Sexual Violence, sponsored
by the Government Innovators Network and the National Institute of Justice.

perspective, sexual violence and evidence collection, and residency

Q&A.

Did you know that more than 50% of college sexual assault cases involve
alcohol? Despite media perceptions, date rape drugs are rarely used.
Schools vary widely in how they comply with requirements to report and
respond to sexual victimization. Many schools need guidance on how to handle
security, report crime data, and ensure victim rights.

This event will examine the prevalence, nature, and reporting of various
types of sexual assault experienced by university students, including those
perpetrated by "undetected" rapists, and will discuss evidence-based
prevention strategies. The discussion will be moderated by Marnie Shiels,
Attorney Advisor for the Office on Violence against Women. The panel
includes:

* Chris Krebs - Senior Research Social Scientist, RTI
International
* David Lisak - Forensic Consulting, Associate Professor,
University of Massachusetts, Boston
* Dorothy Edwards - Director, The Violence Intervention and
Prevention Center, University of Kentucky
