Sexual violence is a problem well beyond universities, however
universities are uniquely well placed to contribute to reducing
sexual violence, encouraging those affected to come forward and
speak about their experiences and actively encourage increased
reporting. This book is unique, in that it offers an international
perspective on the incidence, reporting and impact of sexual
violence at universities. Drawing on evidence from the UK, North
America, Australia and Europe, Towl and Walker explore the
psychological and structural challenges to reporting sexual
violence. They provide a set of policy and practice guidance
recommendations that move beyond awareness campaigns to call for
systems to be put in place whereby reports of sexual assault are
handled promptly, fairly and consistently. They also discuss how
universities can strengthen their approach to prevention, promoting
safeguarding and the welfare of victims and survivors, and
involving victims and survivors in the development and improvement
of services. However, fundamental to their approach is keeping
decision making with the victim and survivor, and emphasising that
their health and recovery is paramount. Tackling Sexual Violence at
Universities is an invaluable and ground-breaking resource for
students and researchers in forensic psychology and criminology, as
well as professionals working in higher education. The authors are
donating their royalties in full to Kirklees and Calderdale Rape
& Sexual Abuse Centre (KCRASACC), UK, a small registered
charity that provides specialist therapy, counselling advocacy and
support for survivors of sexual or domestic violence and abuse.
Running for nearly 30 years, the centre works with young people and
adults over the age of 13.
