In this powerful book, Amos N. Guiora shares the stories of survivors to expose how individual and institutional enablers allow predators to perpetrate their crimes through silence and other failures to act. He then proposes legal, cultural, and social measures aimed at the enabler from the survivor's perspective.

We live in a moment of renewed and highly visible action on the issue of sexual violence. Rape culture is a real and salient force that dominates campus climates and student experiences. Canada has drafted a national framework, provincial legislation, and institutional policy to address incidences of sexual violence, and students have demanded that their universities respond. Yet rape culture persists on campuses throughout North America. Violence Interrupted presents different ways of thinking about sexual violence. It draws together multiple disciplinary perspectives to synthesize new conceptual directions on the nature of the problem and the changes that are required to address it. Analyzing survey data, educational programs, participatory photography projects, interviews, autoethnography, legal case studies, and existing policy, contributors open up the conversation to illustrate sexual violence on campus as a structural, cultural, and complex social phenomenon. The diversity of methodologies sets this study apart: a problem as complex and far-reaching as rape culture must be approached from a multitude of angles. Decades have passed since student advocates first called for "no means no" campaigns, but universities are still struggling to evolve. Violence Interrupted answers the call by bridging the gap between advocacy, research, and institutional change.

"Les dénonciations d'inconduites sexuelles, qui se multiplient dans les universités américaines, ont à juste titre de quoi nous inquiéter, qu'il s'agisse d'allégations de viol, d'agressions sexuelles ou de faveurs obtenues par la contrainte. Mais sont aussi condamnées les fréquentations entre professeurs et étudiants adultes, de même que les "avances non désirées". Or, ces dénonciations sont pour plusieurs administrées à même les universités plutôt que par un système de justice reconnu. Elles mènent souvent à des accusations, à des procès, à des ententes chèrement payées auxquelles contribuent, pour acheter la paix et ne pas compromettre leur réputation, les universités elles-mêmes. Ceux qui se risquent à sortir du silence pour critiquer cette situation, comme cela a été le cas de Laura Kipnis, font à leur tour l'objet de mises en garde, de plaintes, de poursuites, voire de congédiements. Études interrompues, carrières brisées, méfiance généralisée, luttes sans quartier, tel est le régime actuel des établissements américains du haut savoir. Comment en est-on arrivé là ? Comment en sortir ? Laura Kipnis médite ces questions dans ce portrait au vitriol du monde universitaire où, dit-elle, faute d'avoir compris les avancées du féminisme, étudiants, professeurs et administrations s'embourbent dans l'habituelle conception victimaire des femmes et dans la conviction de l'inébranlable pouvoir des hommes."

"Unsafe in the Ivory Tower examines the nature and dimensions of a salient social problem - the sexual victimization of female college students today, and how women respond when they are, in fact, sexually victimized. The authors discuss the research that scholars have conducted to illuminate the origins and extent of this controversial issue, as well as what can be done to prevent it. Students and other interested readers learn about the nature of victimization while simultaneously gaining an understanding of the ways in which criminologists, victimologists, and social scientists conduct research that informs theory and policy debates." "This supplemental text is ideal for courses such as Sex Crimes, Violence and Abuse, Victimology, Gender and Crime, Sociology of Violence, Sociology of Women, and the Sociology of Sex and Gender in departments of criminology, criminal justice, sociology, and women's studies. It is also useful for those involved in studying or creating public policy related to this issue and for those interested in sexual victimization on campuses generally."--BOOK JACKET.

"This is the only book to offer an international perspective on the incidence, reporting and impact of sexual violence at universities. Drawing on evidence from the UK, North America and Australia, it situates sexual violence in universities within a broader societal context, and argues that university communities are uniquely well placed to prevent sexual violence, as well as support those who report it. Examining both the psychological and structural challenges to reporting sexual violence, the book provides a set of 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"--

"The book looks at rape myths and rape culture within the university environment, examining the development of social identities in the creation and support of such culture. Building on a four-year research project, this book demonstrates how an understanding of rape culture and of the falsity of rape myths amongst students and staff at university is often at odds with an understanding of the degree to which sexual assaults take place, and of why they take place. This book explores how traditionally held beliefs of sex roles between men and women, poor conceptions of consent processes, lack of available data, and an inability to see the full continuum of sexual assault limits the knowledge of sexual assaults inside the university community. Taken together the studies demonstrate how socialized social identities of masculinity and femininity hold power in how consent, sexual assaults, and sexual behaviors manifest through cultural values of rape myths and hook-ups. Universities are challenged to examine their sexual assault programming in connection to Title IX and beyond to create educational opportunities about rape culture and rape myths suitable for their students, faculty, and staff. Written in a clear and direct style, this is essential reading for all those engaged in research about rape culture, sexual assault, and violence against women"
