"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.

"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."

While sexual misconduct on our college and university campuses, both public and private, is dismayingly widespread, it continues to be significantly underreported because most victims perceive that judicial recourse, with its legalistic adversarial approach, fails to address--in a healing way--the harms done to them. Fewer still file formal complaints, many for fear that they may lose agency and that the process may rekindle the trauma of their experience.Recognizing the reality that supermajority of sexual harms in higher education are rarely addressed through established legalistic practices, this book offers a range of alternative approaches based on restorative justice.Starting from the premise What if we started with the goal of healing in mind, this book opens with an overview of common restorative practices and accounts of application and lessons learned by practitioners who have implemented a range of restorative justice and alternative-based approaches. Subsequent chapters cover procedural elements, recommendations around documentation. and interventions for individuals who have caused harm through sexual and gender-based misconduct.The book addresses facilitation; the need to pay attention to self, people, and systems, identities, and power dynamics; the considerations for working restoratively with both complainants and respondents; offers cases and adaptable examples of resolution; and concludes with reflections on institutional implementation from the perspectives of administrators, facilitators, and a student survivor.Recognizing there will always be a need for a formal investigatory approach to cases of sexual misconduct, the book offers a wide range of alternative options that empower those who are most directly affected to make the call for themselves. In doing so, it may increase reporting and, furthermore, in offering a healing justice that addresses individual and community needs, may work to reduce sexual misconduct on campus.

"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"
