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.

"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"--
