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

[Roberta Gibbons <>]

Colleagues –

 

I am following up on a question that arose from the Colleges / Universities meeting with law enforcement in December.

 

Colleges / Universities ask if they could obtain the police report from law enforcement to reduce the number of reports made..  Law enforcement said no.  Others thought yes, that the report is a victim’s right to get.  Law enforcement said again no… not during an active investigation.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thank you,

Roberta Gibbons

Subject: co ed/multi gender housing and sexual violence follow up

 

Hi all:

 

A week or so ago, I posted to this list asking if anyone had any data to suggest that putting multiple genders in the same residence hall had an impact on victimization/perpetration rates.

 

I received a number of general responses, but not specific data sets.  In short, those who had looked into this matter previously discovered both in the data and anecdotally that allowing multiple genders to live in the same res hall/floors of res halls actually had a mitigating factor on men’s violence.    I am not an expert on this matter, but wanted to share back the overarching theme of responses in case folks were curious! 

 

Hope you are all well.
