A Deeper Understanding Of Underlying Issues Within The...

Introduction Sexual assault is a prevalent issue in Universities and Colleges across the world. Various post-secondary institutions do not have a proper system for administering the sexual assault crime or act of rape. Although authority figures, including campus police and staff members, do their best to get involved and prevent such devastating events from occurring, sexual abuse continues to take place behind closed doors.

Fear of disbelief, lack of dedication to the justice system, or worry of a repeat assault prevent victims from having a voice and spreading their message of concern to others.
