Abstract or Description
It is important to study bystander interventions in sexual assault cases because it allows us to determine current trends of bystander intervention implemented by students and the best place to focus efforts to educate students about bystander intervention. Using a stratified random sample of 786 students at a large, southeastern university, we examine the influence of sex on students’ likelihood to intervene as bystanders in cases of sexual assault, controlling for various other factors including demographics, alcohol consumption, and frequency of attendance at parties or social events. Implications for university policies and practices to reduce sexual assault will be presented.
