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

[Holly Rider-Milkovich <>]

I want to echo my support for connecting with the PRISM group--they are preparing now to deliver a white paper on restorative justice and campus sexual misconduct. Additionally, I'll note that U.K. is ahead of the U.S. in terms of developing restorative justice practices related to sexual misconduct, and there is some research as well on motivational interviewing with sexual offenders.

Here is an overview of "positive approaches" to treating adult and juvenile sex offenders that includes a discussion of MI and some useful cit.s to purl from CSOM (an excellent organization focused on tertiary prevention through effective treatment of offenders): http://www.csom.org/pubs/cap/4/4_2.htm

I am very interested in research-informed efforts to address sexual misconduct that expand the tool box for effectively hold accountable persons who have committed some form of gender-baseded or sexual harm, beyond excision from campus. I'd love to see your work as it moves to the next phase of development.

Hello Zachary and others,

 

This is not exactly what you’re describing, but in case you aren’t aware already, there is a new collaboration called PRISM (Promoting Restorative Initiatives for Sexual Misconduct) that focuses on using restorative justice models for prevention, response to and resolution of sexual misconduct. PRISM will be releasing a white paper soon with suggestions about how campuses can use RJ for these purposes, with the goal of creating options that are “constructive alternatives to the adversarial resolution process.” There will be information in the white paper about using Circles of Support and Accountability with students who have been found in violation of a school’s sexual misconduct policy.

 

Take care,

Laura

Subject: Educational sanction for gender-based misconduct

 

Hi all,

 

I am a Title IX investigator at Columbia University and am new to the listserv. I am working on a particular project, and Maria Wydra kindly suggested that I post here in my search for input/collaboration.

 

I've seen a need for an educational sanction program for Gender-Based Misconduct. I believe the interests of the accused, accuser, and the overall community would be better served if there were a constructive alternative (or adjunct) to the adversarial resolution process.

 

Have people in this group been working on anything toward this end? If so, I would love to hear what kind of progress you have made so far.

 

I've thought, given the ubiquity and empirical effectiveness of BASICS for drugs and alcohol, it makes sense to model a program from BASICS' components (harm reduction, personalized feedback, brief motivational interview). So far I've developed a prototype, but am struggling on next steps, as this is an independent project - not something anyone has requisitioned of me.

 

I would love to hear from anyone with any thoughts on this. Thanks so much!
