Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Thompson, Stephen M." <>]

Hello All

Regarding Profiling the Campus Date Rapist, I presented a paper in 1996
titled "A Behavioral Analysis of Campus Sexual Assault", with my
findings regarding the "Nice Guy".  I found that familiar rapists
(Date/Acquaintance) have a very consistent profile and follow a seven
step pattern of behavior.  I also found that, for the majority of the
cases, it is a premeditated act where alcohol and drugs are used as a
tool to gain control.  You may download the paper for free on my web
site; www.stephenmthompson.com. You will click on Current Power Points
and the top of the menu you will find Behavioral Analysis.  I have used
this information countless times to assist police officers with their
investigation, prosecutors to educate jurors, and the general public to
better understand the crime and support the survivor. Please feel free
to contact me if you have any questions.

Announcing an Upcoming NCHERM  Webinar 

Profiling the Campus Date  Rapist:   
Inside the  Research 

Friday, January 26th,  2007 

1:00pm to 3:00pm Eastern  Time 

Presented by:   

Brett A. Sokolow, J.D.   
and 
David Lisak,  Ph.D. 

THE  TOPIC 
SHE  SAID:  April, a student at your university,  comes to your office
and 
asks to report a sexual assault.  She claims that another student, Kyle,
took 
advantage of her sexually the previous evening.  She describes a night
of 
pressure at a  campus party, repeated sexual advances, Kyle insisting on
walking 
her home,  trying to resist him and finally, of being raped.   
HE  SAID:  You summon Kyle to your office and question him about  his 
behavior with April the previous evening.  Kyle convincing describes an
evening of  
casual drinking and serious flirtation.  He was flattered when April
invited 
him back to her room.  She was shy at first, but once intimacy  began,
she was 
into it and clearly consented to what they did  together. 
The classic, ?He Said ? She Said? and we?re left  trying to figure out
who 
did what to whom.  The accounts of these two students are bafflingly 
dissimilar.  How do we figure out what really  happened?  We may never
know, but  
researchers are diligently collecting and presenting data that might
help us to  
better understand the phenomenology of campus date rape.   
One of the foremost of these researchers is Dr. David  Lisak (see bio
below). 
 Dr. Lisak?s  research is well-regarded and he is frequently called to 
consult on high profile  date rape cases.  His work informs  the U.S.
Military as it 
grapples with cultural issues of gender violence.  He has framed a body
of 
research around  the concept of undetected rapists.  Some of his
conclusions 
will cause us to carefully re-examine our  willingness to accept at face
value 
what ?HE SAID.? 
According to Lisak?s research, undetected  rapists: 
?         Are extremely adept at  identifying ?likely? victims, and
testing 
prospective victims?  boundaries; 
?         Plan and premeditate their  attacks using sophisticated
strategies 
to groom their victims for attack, and to  isolate them physically;  
?         Use ?instrumental? not  gratuitous violence; they exhibit
strong 
impulse control and use only as much  violence as is needed to terrify
and 
coerce their victims into submission;   
?         Use psychological weapons  ? power, control, manipulation, and

threats ? backed up by physical force, and  almost never resort to
weapons such as 
knives or guns;  
?         Use alcohol deliberately  to render victims more vulnerable to

attack, or completely unconscious.   
In addition, the majority of undetected rapists are  serial rapists who
also 
commit other  
forms of serious interpersonal violence. In a study  of 120 undetected 
rapists in the  
Boston area, 63% were serial rapists. These 76 serial  rapists had, on 
average,  
attacked 14 victims, and were responsible for:   
?         439 rapes and attempted  rapes  
?         49 sexual assaults   
?         214 acts of battery  against intimate partners  
In this webinar, Brett Sokolow  will interview Dr. Lisak to help to 
familiarize participants with his research,  and will discuss with Dr.
Lisak how his 
findings apply to the work of student  affairs administrators as we
endeavor to 
prevent and respond to campus sexual  violence.  Special emphasis will
be  
placed on these questions: 
?         What implications do these  findings have for the campus
conduct 
process? 
?         What implications do these  findings have for how we approach 
educational initiatives on  prevention? 
?         What implications do these  findings have for how we educate
our 
potential victim population about risk  reduction? 
HOW A WEBINAR  WORKS 
Webinars are cost-effective  because everything you need is already in
your 
office -- a telephone and a  computer.  Webinars are large-group
conference 
calls where you can follow along online with our PowerPoint.  You can
even 
project the PowerPoint via  an LCD projector for group participation by
your staff. 
 Each registrant can call in from one  telephone line on campus, so you
might 
arrange to use a phone in a conference  room, where your staff and 
administrators can listen and participate via  speakerphone.  You can
also purchase  
additional lines for multiple campus call-in locations for a moderate
surcharge. 
 You will receive a  call-in 800 number and a PIN for the day of the
event.  
Once you join the call, you will be able  to hear the presenters and ask

questions via phone, while viewing the Power  Point online. 
INTENDED  PARTICIPANTS:

Hello all,

Did anyone happen to catch this Nancy Grace "parody" with Amy Poehler's 
character pretending to defend the survivor in the Duke lacrosse case? 
It sends a major, negative message about victim-blaming in an _ongoing 
_criminal case. I was disgusted and plan to use the clip to spark 
discussion with my peer educators. If anyone has any thoughts on a 
response to SNL, please get in touch with me. I'd love for them to hear 
that advocates are following this case and that they grossly 
misrepresented the facts.
