Campus Rape Culture by Jennifer L. Huck
"Huck examines rape culture and rape myth acceptance in higher education through a series of studies. Currently, many in college and university settings are seeking to combat these issues in a meaningful way. If acted on appropriately, findings from this collection should help college and university communities become safer and protect their most vulnerable populations from sexual violence." - Jason D. Spraitz, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Criminal Justice, University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire
- Building on a four-year research project, this book demonstrates how an understanding of rape culture and of the falsity of rape myths amongst students and staff at university is often at odds with an understanding of the degree to which sexual assaults take place, and of why they take place.
