~Online event. Registration required, and free of charge.~

This event is the last of four in the Series on Sexual Violence,
sponsored by the Government Innovators Network and the National
Institute of Justice.  Additional event topics include sexual violence
from an international perspective, sexual violence and evidence
collection, and residency restrictions for sex offenders.  Ample time
will be allocated for audience Q&A.

Did you know that more than 50% of college sexual assault cases involve
alcohol? Despite media perceptions, date rape drugs are rarely used.
Schools vary widely in how they comply with requirements to report and
respond to sexual victimization. Many schools need guidance on how to
handle security, report crime data, and ensure victim rights. 

This event will examine the prevalence, nature, and reporting of various
types of sexual assault experienced by university students, including
those perpetrated by "undetected" rapists, and will discuss
evidence-based prevention strategies.  The discussion will be moderated
by Marnie Shiels, Attorney Advisor for the Office on Violence against
Women.  The panel includes:

*       Chris Krebs - Senior Research Social Scientist, RTI
International
*       David Lisak - Forensic Consulting, Associate Professor,
University of Massachusetts, Boston
*       Dorothy Edwards - Director, The Violence Intervention and
Prevention Center, University of Kentucky
