“…From a public health perspective, cultivating practices and attitudes contrary to such risk factors, as well as enhancing empathy, may be effective areas to emphasize more in preventative interventions once techniques designed to reduce defensiveness and reactance have been implemented as well. One such application is the STARRSA (Science‐based Treatment, Accountability, Risk Reduction for Sexual Assault) program (Lamade et al, 2018). STARRSA begins with an assessment of risk factors for sexual aggression.…”

This article focuses on the characteristics of sexually violent men who have not been convicted of a crime. The objective of this study was to test the four key interrelated pillars of the Confluence Model. The first key pillar posits the interaction of Hostile Masculinity and Impersonal Sex as core risk predictors. The second pillar entails a “mediated structure” wherein the impact of more general risk factors is mediated via those specific to aggression against women. The third pillar comprises a single latent factor underlying various types of sexual violence. The fourth pillar expands the core model by including the secondary risk factors of lower empathy, peer support, extreme pornography use, and participation in alcohol parties. An ethnically diverse sample of 1,148 male students from 13 U.S. colleges and universities completed a comprehensive survey that assessed the hypothesized risk factors and self‐reported sexual violence, which included noncontact sexual offenses, contact sexual coercion, and contact sexual aggression. A series of multiple regression analyses were conducted before testing structural equation models. The results supported the integration of the four pillars within a single expanded empirical model that accounted for 49% of the variance of sexual violence. This study yielded data supporting all four key pillars. These findings provide information about non‐redudant risk factors that can be used to develop screening tools, group‐based and individually tailored psychoeducational and treatment interventions.

“…Another systemlevel rape prevention methodology that is underutilized is improved accountability for sexual misconduct, which currently is infrequently sanctioned (Abbey et al, 2014). In addition to repair of harm to the victim, perpetrators may benefit from rehabilitation to reduce the likelihood of re-offending (Koss, 2014;Lamade, et al, 2018). It is unrealistic to expect that perpetrators will desist from strategies that increase the likelihood of obtaining sex (the benefit), until accountability (the cost) of being reported for rape by exploitation of alcohol incapacitation becomes higher than it is currently.…”

“…To create a compelling 30-year interval, the designations 1985 and 2015 label the two datasets even though each required portions of 2 years to complete (1984-1985 and 2015-2016). The 2015 sample was collected as part of a larger project (Lamade et al, 2018). Before delving deeper into methodology, we begin with a statement on gender inclusivity.…”

Research Questions: Rape prevention practice and policy have roots in data from 1985. This study uses 2015 national data to project recent prevalence, assesses whether rates now differ from those of 30 years ago, and disaggregates 2015 prevalence into rape of alcohol incapacitated victims, rapes combining both alcohol and physical tactics, and violent rape. Methods: Cross-sectional analyses were conducted comparing two national samples. The first was collected in 1984-85 (Koss, Gidycz, & Wisniewski, 1987); the second was collected 30 years later in 2014-2015. Both surveys used in-person administration and measurement by the most current version at the time of the Sexual Experiences Survey (SES). Prevalence rates were compared using Bayesian binomial tests. Results: In 2015, 33.4% (1 in 3) of women reported experiencing rape or attempted rape and 12.7% of men reported perpetration (1 in 8). Using Jeffreys' label for effect size of the Bayes binomial (1961), both results are “decisively” greater than expected given the 1985 benchmarks of 27.9% for victimization and 7.7% for perpetration. Victimization when incapacitated characterized approximately 75% of incidents in 2015 up from 50% in 1985. Cautions apply as cross-sectional data does not establish causality and the recent data set involved the revised SES. Conclusions: Across 30 years, neither containment nor reduction of rape was demonstrated and the increasingly prominent association with alcohol was apparent. Among the men who disclosed raping, 9 of 10 incidents were alcohol-involved. Prevention focus might profitably be directed to constraining alcohol environments and policies that facilitate rape of incapacitated persons and on misconduct responses that are proportional to the harm caused to rape victims, thereby raising the perceived risks of perpetration.

“…SV experienced on university campuses is also uniquely situated for these RJ recommendations, given recent changes in Title IX guidelines allowing for “informal resolutions” for sexual misconduct concerns. However, this context may face unique challenges that are important to consider, owing to the limitations and complexities associated with implementing such programming in a higher education system (Lamade et al, 2018). For example, Koss (2014) found that harmed persons should receive free consultations with an attorney for comprehensive understanding and discernment of which pathway(s) of SV adjudication fit their goals.…”

Restorative Justice for Survivors of Sexual Violence Experienced in Adulthood: A Scoping Review

Sexual violence (SV) is a widespread human rights issue. Survivors of SV often experience profound dehumanization and poor health outcomes when their trauma is not properly addressed, rendering it critical that they are honored and empowered within subsequent processes of healing and seeking justice. With adjudication through the criminal legal system largely underutilized due to retraumatization, scrutiny from law enforcement professionals, and high rates of case closure, restorative justice (RJ) has emerged as a promising option for survivors to repair harm and experience accountability. Little is known, however, regarding the best practices for its use in cases of SV. To meet this need, a scoping review was conducted to identify the best practices for the implementation of RJ after instances of SV experienced in adulthood. Following the search methodology outlined by the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis for scoping reviews, 15 articles met search criteria, including four empirical studies and 11 nonempirical research materials spanning five academic disciplines. Best practices and structures for RJ were subsequently identified, including key phases for appropriate implementation. This review can be used to create increasingly productive RJ processes for SV survivors, which is particularly important for those coming from marginalized communities facing structural inequities, as well as survivors on university campuses. As researchers, we have the power to use science to propel society toward the creation of more efficacious healing spaces for survivors of SV, and optimizing safe RJ processes plays a key role in bringing this to fruition.
