S05 EP#3: Sexual Assaults Among College Campuses

Hash it Out

Trigger warning: This episode contains content that may be alarming to some listeners. Today, we will be discussing sexual assault among college campuses, issues, bystander intervention, law process and campus support. Please feel free to step away and take a moment to yourself.

According to Know Your IX, Only 12% of college student survivors report the assault to police. Notably, only 7% of survivors of incapacitated sexual assault report to the police. Survivors cite a number of reasons for not reporting: not wanting others to know; lack of proof; fear of retaliation; being unsure of whether what happened constitutes assault; did not know how to report; and fear of being treated poorly by the criminal justice system.

Services and resources are available for students who have experienced sexual or interpersonal violence or stalking. You can reach out to talk to the CAPS confidential advocate at [e-mail] or [e-mail] 317-274-5715.
