Rethinking Serial Perpetration of Sexual Violence: Implications for Prevention

Tuesday September 15, 2015

11am-12:30 pm Pacific Time

(2pm-3:30pm Eastern)

The serial perpetration hypothesis suggests that a small number of men perpetrate the vast majority of rapes, and that these men perpetrate multiple rapes over time. This hypothesis has played an important role in the field of rape prevention as a model of sexual violence, especially raising awareness of rapists who have not been identified by the criminal justice system.

A recent study, A Trajectory Analysis of the Campus Serial Rapist Assumption, published in JAMA Pediatrics raises questions about the serial perpetrator hypothesis. 

Today the National Sexual Violence Resource Center released a report Rethinking Serial Perpetration exploring the research on this topic.In this web conference, we will examine the impact of the serial perpetration hypothesis on prevention efforts and explore how prevention efforts can be informed by research on this topic.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this web conference, participants will be able to:

• Describe the serial perpetration hypothesis
• Identify two implications of the serial perpetration hypothesis on sexual violence prevention programs
• Describe at least one action step to take to support sexual violence prevention efforts based on the information and issues raised in this web conference
