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

["Shaffer, Jyl (shaffej2)" <>]

My campus was recently contacted by the makers of the Good Samaritans app. I watched the video and was really shocked they think this is a good idea. It’s definitely focused on preventing stranger assaults, which is problematic enough, but I can completely see a predator using this to identify and lure in victims or “Good Samaritans” using the app to engage in violence themselves.

 

Just wanted to give everyone a head’s up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmshP1-uVl4
