campus violence prevention program

The U.S. Department of Justice calls violence against women on college and university campuses in this country, including sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, "a serious, widespread problem." Recent surveys have revealed that victimization of female college students has escalated significantly. Numerous research studies have also indicated that sexual assaults and other forms of violence against women on campus are gravely underreported, suggesting that the problem is far more pervasive than statistics reveal.

The primary focus of UCASA's campus violence prevention program is developing a multidisciplinary collective response to sexual assault on campus and improving victim services on campus to create a safe environment for students, faculty and staff to work and learn. As part of this goal, we work to improve the relationships between local rape recovery/crisis programs and the colleges or universities in their counties. Through collaboration and local support, UCASA has helped to increase the number of campus programs and improve the capacity for campuses and rape recovery/crisis programs to serve college students.
