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

["Linda Langford" <>]

Dear Juliette,

You asked: 
>>> I am wondering if anyone knows of any or has access to good (even
evidence and/or theory-based!), victimization/perpetration surveys as
well as one on bystander behavior (i.e. do you engage in active
bystandership, why or why not, etc.).  

Below are some suggested resources:

(1) I agree with Ross' suggestion about consulting Banyard's work at
UNH. Below are two specific resources. The first is a lengthy grant
report that provides extensive detail about their measures, and the
second is an excellent published article that reviews the background
research relevant to their program.

Rape Prevention Through Bystander Education: Bringing a Broader
Community Perspective to Sexual Violence Prevention (Banyard et al.) 
www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/208701.pdf 

Bystander education: Bringing a broader community perspective to sexual
violence prevention
Victoria L. Banyard, Elizabethe G. Plante, Mary M. Moynihan
Journal of Community Psychology, Volume 32, Issue 1 , Pages 61 - 79.


(2) The Arizona Rape Prevention and Education Program's "Education
Resources: Evaluation Measures" page
(http://www.azrapeprevention.org/education/evaluation/index.htm) lists
several measures and cites articles describing how they have been used
to collect data.


(3) Pat Fabiano from Western Washington U and colleagues from the social
norms field created a series of survey questions about factors that
influence men's willingness to obtain consent and men's willingness to
intervene to prevent sexual assault.

The results are described in this article, available online at
http://www.alanberkowitz.com/papers.html
Engaging Men as Social Justice Allies in Ending Violence Against Women:
Evidence for a Social Norms Approach (Patricia Fabiano, H Wesley
Perkins, Alan Berkowitz, Jeff Linkenbach and Christopher Stark), Journal
of American College Health, 52(3):105-112, 2003.

You can find the actual survey questions (entitled "NCHA Violence
Insert") here:

Good luck!
Linda
