Most North American colleges have programs that help students
understand the harm done to victims of sexual violence and, if
prosecuted, the potential consequences of their perpetrators.
However, only a few programs also address those aspects of
masculine culture that surround sexual assault. "Sexual Assault in
Context" addresses the undesirable aspects of masculine culture
that sustains the violation of women and girls. It examines several
typically overlooked patterns of behavior that provide the basis
for sexual assault and provides an overview of masculine
psychological development as a context for sexual assault. The book
also includes prevention strategies, information on funding and
consultation issues, and additional resources for investigating
further into male gender awareness and sexual assault.
The text's hands-on, practical approach, helps counseling
professionals negotiate educational, organizational, and logistical
issues in helping college men understand the gendered context of
sexual assault and harassment. This resource is intended to help
reduce the incidence of sexual assault on college campuses, as well
as help men gain a greater understanding of: cultural gender
pressures; relationship skills; their impact on others; and the
considerable influence male peer cultures have on how women are
treated.
"Sexual Assault in Context" provides an easy-to-read synopsis of
male gender and sexual assault education strategies. It is intended
as a resource for college counseling and/or violence prevention
programs, and for those interested in understanding the
psychological and social effects of the current culture of
masculinity.
