The Prevention Review Volume 3, 2011
In Books & Research first we review Conceptualizing the Engaging Bystander Approach to Sexual Violence Prevention on College Campuses, a research study with college students to learn more about bystander behaviors and attitudes.
Then we examine American Perceptions of Sexual Violence: A Frameworks Research Report, the first part of a comprehensive investigation into effective education and prevention of sexual violence in our country. This report summarizes the findings of awareness and understanding of sexual violence with both experts in the field and the public.
Next in the Films & Media we review The Line, a documentary that recounts one woman’s journey to understand and heal from her sexual assault and also figure out how to negotiate sexuality and consent.
We are pleased to share the next film review submitted by Kayla Windle from Human Response Network. Kayla uses several films as part of her prevention education efforts and has graciously shared her experiences in using the film Bullied to provide a framework for others interested in using this resource. Bullied was created to tell the story of a young man tormented by his peers and encourage individuals and school systems to take preventative measures to prevent harassment and violence.
Finally in Online Resources, we review a website called Scenarios USA that features the voices and experiences of youth that have been created into professionally developed short films. Lastly, we share feedback from WCASP’s Five-Hour Prevention Orientation Course, which is designed to give an introduction to the field of sexual violence prevention.
