Student views on campus sexual assault

Abstract

Objective: To report on college student opinions about the scope of college sexual misconduct (CSM), suggested university sanctions, and treatment of students found responsible of CSM.

Participants: In all, 23?US undergraduate students (14 females and 9 males) with a mean age of 20 years.

Methods: Students participated either in female, male, or mixed-sex focus groups that facilitated the discussion of factors related to CSM.

Results: Students provided in-depth feedback on the climate on US college campuses and factors related to CSM. They agreed upon CSM risk factors and context characteristics, but raised different male and female issues across sex groups. They further provided resolute suggestions for the solution of CSM, experienced treatment barriers, and limited victim reporting.

Conclusion: Student focus groups provide important information about the scope of CSM and offer valuable suggestions for the solution of the problem that may be crucial for the development of successful sexual assault interventions.     

企业建立防治职场性骚扰机制的现实需求与对策

本课题项目组通过实证调研和文献比较,发现企业建立防治职场性骚扰机制有现实需求。在国家立法确立用人单位防止性骚扰义务之后,企业性骚扰防治机制的推广并不顺利。因为此项义务规定过于笼统而难以落实,职场性骚扰定义的缺位导致认定难,保护对象限于女性的褊狭令部分男性对防治职场性骚扰持消极态度,受害人多数不愿选择向主管投诉或向法院起诉,知情人不愿作证。基于此,有必要从立法模式及其理念、具体制度设计方面提出建立防治职场性骚扰机制的对策,以供在相关立法及决策时有所参考。     

论女职工特殊保护立法的新理念

在实证研究和文献比较的基础上,为了提升《女职工特殊保护条例》的品质,文中提出并论证了两种新的立法理念：其一是正视现行职业禁忌制度中的歧视性后果,将滞后性＂保护＂改为前瞻性＂赋权＂,针对女性群体的个体差异分类规范,赋予无需特殊保护的女性进入男性垄断的高薪职业的选择权;其二是关注工作环境权和女职工的人格尊严,借鉴国外＂防重于治＂的经验,增设单位防治职场性骚扰的义务和法律责任,以满足现实需求,填补国家法律关于＂反性骚扰雇主责任＂的空白。     

Are social networking sites a source of online harassment for teens? Evidence from survey data

Media reports on incidences of abuse on the internet, particularly among teenagers, are growing at an alarming rate causing much concern among parents of teenagers and prompting legislations aimed at regulating internet use among teenagers. Social networking sites (SNS) have been criticized for serving as a breeding ground for cyber-bullying and harassment by strangers. However, there is a lack of serious research studies that explicitly identify factors that make teenagers prone to internet abuse, and study whether it is SNS that is causing this recent rise in online abuse or is it something else. This study attempts to identify the key factors associated with cyber-bullying and online harassment of teenagers in the United States using the 2006 round of Pew Internet™ American Life Survey that is uniquely suited for this study. Results fail to corroborate the claim that having social networking site memberships is a strong predictor of online abuse of teenagers. Instead this study finds that demographic and behavioral characteristics of teenagers are stronger predictors of online abuse.

Should evaluators judge whether services are appropriate?

If an Aid for Dependent Children (AFDC) mother receives a cash reward for helping police apprehend a criminal, she automatically loses part of her children's benefits. Is this appropriate? More central to this article, does an evaluator of the AFDC program have the right to judge whether this is appropriate? Although decision makers' abilities to rectify such situations are increasingly constrained, they clearly need to know about such seemingly inappropriate aspects of services. But should evaluators be a source for this information? Yes — even though there are undeniable risks involved. This article discusses these issues and offers 18 suggestions for gathering and presenting information on appropriateness.     

Protectionism and real wage rigidity: A discussion of the macroeconomic literature

The paper discusses the macroeconomic literature on the relationship between real wage rigidity and the case for protectionism. First, it gives an account of the analytical arguments that lie behind the protectionist position of the Cambridge Economic Policy Group (CEPG). Then, it provides a critical appraisal of the model of the CEPG; the discussion is focused on its supply side, on the role it assigns to financial markets as well as on the issue of retaliation. Finally, the paper considers and evaluates the subsequent work by Eichengreen, which incorporates aggregate supply and wealth effects into the CEPG analysis.     

Evaluating multicultural curricula in the community college: A sociocultural framework

This paper addresses the need for models for assessing multicultural programs in the community college, the most culturally and socioeconomically diverse educational institutions in the country. A three-dimensional framework presents faculty, student, and curriculum variables critical to the implementation and outcomes of multicultural programs. The framework emerged from the formative evaluation of a new interdisciplinary social science curriculum and guided the design of the national field test of that curriculum in 30 community college classrooms. Three kinds of results are reported: implementation patterns; appropriateness to faculty members' teaching goals; and impact on reading behavior, interest, overall learning, and political efficacy of students with diverse ages, ethnic and sociocultural backgrounds, and political positions. Political efficacy gains of older students and students with lower socioeconomic backgrounds are discussed. The importance of such a framework in documenting the interaction between a curriculum and its sociocultural context is stressed.
