Sexual Violence Prevention
Victoria L. Banyard, Mary M. Moynihan, and Elizabethe G. Plante conducted a meta-analysis based on 46 studies. They study how exposure to pornographic materials is connected with various negative outcomes such as an increase in sexual violence. A review of the journal "Sexual violence prevention through bystander education: An experimental evaluation," affirms the consistency of the link between sexual aggression behavior and explicit sexual materials.
The recent work of Banyard, Moynihan, and Plante attempts to integrate laboratory experimental strategies and cross-sectional survey studies to give a convincing and useful model of the possible outcomes of explicit sexual materials on behavior and sexually aggressive attitudes. Their studies suggest that men scoring high on some risk factors like higher hyper-masculinity, hostility towards women, a high frequency of hostile and sexual fantasies, a high rate of attraction towards impersonal sex and dominance motivation are likely to get exposure to various explicit materials. Consistent with their findings, they used MIDSA across three different sets of...
Additionally, based on the three sets of samples, high pornography scores consistently related with aspects of high anger, psychopathy, and aggression. In correlation studies, Banyard, Moynihan, and Plante established that pornography contributed peculiar variance to sexual aggression prediction (Banyard Moynihan & Plante, 2007).
While analyzing numerous experiments on the subject, Banyard, Moynihan and Plante suggest that not only are males scoring high in sexual aggression conducts more expected to be attracted to excessive use of pornography, they are similarly more expected to be influenced by being exposed to such materials. It is evident that males with high scores of self-reported inclination towards sexual aggression in females are much expected to rate females as deriving fun from sexual assaults (Banyard Moynihan & Plante, 2007). On the contrary, males with low scores on the chances of committing a rape assault demonstrated no impact. Therefore, exposure to explicit sexual material might aggravate sexually aggressive tendencies exclusively in those at high risks…

Sexual Victimization of College Women" by Fisher, Cullen and Turner (2000), considers sexual violence against young women in the United States. College campuses provide rich grounds for such investigation, since there is a large concentration of young women in these locations. Because of the prevelance of almost exclusively young populations on campuses, the authors claim that such young women are at greater risk of sexual assault than others of
Health Promotion Program Proposal Sexual violence has been a longstanding issue around the world. Women and children face rape, molestation, sexual assault each year. In the United States alone, the annual national average for rape and sexual assault victims is 288,820 (age 12 or older). While the figures for child molestation may be higher than anticipated, the reported sexual assault cases reveal the majority of victims range from ages 18-34 at
Using Social Media to Build Out Support Systems Introduction Violence prevention programs focus on curtailing forms of violence in society, such as child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault. These programs often emphasize personal responsibility, information about what constitutes violence (it is often the case that offenders do not even realize they are being abusive), why long-term solutions are better than quick-fixes, and how to engage in respectful rather than abusive communication
In fact, 12,500 rape kits, which are to be tested, remain frozen with the Los Angeles county police department. The report also cited similar negligence across the nation with the Detroit police and the Houston police department storage facilities having a backlog of 10,000 and 4000 untested 'rape kits' respectively. [Sarah Tofte, 2009] A separate research by CBS found that Louisiana is really worse off. The report showed that Louisiana
Domestic violence poses serious mental and physical health risks. In fact, it is estimated that" more than 1.5 million women nationwide seek medical treatment for injuries related to abuse each year" (Stark, 2001, p. 347(Tomison, 2003)). Those who are abused can experience mental health issues, such as anxiety attacks, posttraumatic stress disorder, chronic depression, acute stress disorder, and suicidal thoughts and ideation (Tomison, 2003)." Domestic violence in America comes with an
Family Violence Prevention Services Act Social policy analysis must start with defining the problem that the policy is designed to address. For instance, Family Violence Prevention Services Act addresses the subject of family violence, domestic violence, and dating violence. A number of needs assessment have been conducted to establish the significance of the issue of family violence and to identify the effectiveness of numerous interventions addressing the issue. The existence of
