Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Sociology - Law and Delinquency, grade: 4.00, , language: English, abstract: Sexual assault has become prevalent among members of the university community. This has prompted researchers to critically examine risk factors that propel the prevalence of sexual assault in the university community. Arrays of factors generally lead to the prevalence of sexual assault, but alcohol consumption has remained the leading factor. This study provided a systematic response to the question of if alcohol has any connection with sexual assaults at Sheffield University. The primary aim of the research critically established that alcohol consumption is a leading factor in sexual assault in the university community. The study implemented both quantitative method and qualitative methods. Data were collated from students and academic and non-academic members of the university community. A total of 150 persons participated in the study, wherein 67% were female participants, 30% were male participants and 3% were non-gender specified participants. The findings of the study, which emanate from the collated and presented data, provide insight into the nature of alcohol consumption among people at the University of Sheffield.

Alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to themselves and society at large. Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks â€" and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive? What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment in youth health and safety.

The relationship between alcohol consumption and alcohol-related violence has been firmly established in a wide array of studies concerning various forms of violence including intimate partner violence, domestic violence as well as sexual assault. One factor which has been highlighted as having a moderating effect on the relationship between alcohol consumption and alcohol-related aggression is the specific aggression-related alcohol expectancies concerning the effects of alcohol consumption on aggressive behaviour. In light of the prevalence of alcohol-related violence in South African communities it becomes important to examine the specific factors that moderate the relationship between alcohol consumption and alcohol-related aggression and violence. The aim of this study was to examine aggressionrelated alcohol expectancies as a moderating factor in the relationship between alcohol consumption and alcohol-related aggression and to examine the possible influence of exposure to community alcohol-related aggression in the formulation of aggression-related alcohol expectancies. The main objectives of this were to examine aggression-related alcohol expectancies as well as exposure to community alcohol-related aggression as domains for intervention to prevent alcohol-related violence.

Objective: This dissertation research utilizes a dataset derived from the National Collegiate Health Assessment II to identify specific social, situational and psychological factors that contribute to students becoming victims of campus sexual assault at a large, southern university historically known as a “party school.” Methods: Combined data for the period 2010-2014 were used to create a data set (n=5504) to examine the interplay between alcohol consumption and likelihood of experiencing sexual assault on this campus. Logistic regression quantified the magnitude of the relationship between certain survey items specific to alcohol use, protective behavioral strategies for high-risk alcohol use, and likelihood of experiencing sexual assault. Results: Victims of sexual assault were found to be predominantly female, median age of 21, and in their second year of college. Adjusted odds ratios indicated strong relationships (p ≤ .01) between most of the social, situational, and psychological variables analyzed and the likelihood of experiencing sexual assault, except for protective behavioral strategies for high-risk alcohol use, alternating drinking, staying with a friend the entire time “partying,” and tracking the amount of alcohol consumed. Conclusion: Since 2011, the federal government has placed a significant amount of attention on mitigating the likelihood of sexual abuse on college campuses, calling for both adherence to federal mandates, and strongly recommending that prevention programs covering a wide array of topics be instituted. This has, in turn, created an environment for administrators and educators in which ensuring compliance with federal mandates appears to take precedence over student safety and program efficacy. Programs that are developed solely based on federal mandates, without an understanding of the complexity and context surrounding sexual assault on college campuses may increase reporting and ensure that services are offered for victims, but will not impact the overall numbers of victims. This research seeks to propose a foundation for integrating protective behavioral strategies for high-risk alcohol use and sexual assault primary prevention programs within higher education institutions. This would allow both underfunded and understaffed educators to capitalize on the potential for pooling limited resources and more importantly enhancing the likelihood of reducing both the risk for and incidence of sexual assault on college campuses.

There has been a growing concern regarding sexual assaults on college and university campuses. The push to decrease sexual assaults has lead researchers and universities to examine alcohol abuse as a contributing factor. Many colleges and universities have developed new policies for alcohol restriction, but they have done so without taking into consideration the views of the campus community. In the absence of collaboration between the campus community and university administration, such policies will likely be ineffective. This study explores the beliefs, perceptions, and attitudes of the campus community regarding alcohol restriction policies at The University of Southern Mississippi. --Page iv.

This book provides a chronology of the 68th Nebraska Symposium on Motivation, which is focused on contemporary research knowledge about sexual violence and alcohol use. This book is more specific to dating and intimate partner sexual violence in young adult populations. The target audience is researchers, prevention agencies and policymakers within academia and military settings. Alcohol use has long been recognized as a major contributor to sexual assault, with an estimated 50% of sexual assaults in the U.S. involving drinking by the victim, perpetrator, or both. Beyond the usual harmful effects, alcohol-involved assaults are associated with unique sequelae for female victims, including increased self-blame, stigma, and greater alcohol use to cope. Moreover, heavier drinking on the part of the perpetrator is associated with more serious incidents of assault (e.g., involving physical force) that result in more severe outcomes for victims. The purpose of this Symposium on Motivation is to bring together a group of experts in the areas of alcohol and sexual aggression to articulate the causes, consequences, and mechanisms of alcohol-involved sexual assault. Speakers will talk about classic and contemporary research and theories on these issues using cutting-edge approaches (e.g., virtual reality, neuroscience, laboratory-based alcohol administration) from a variety of perspectives (perpetrators, victims, bystanders).

This instructive manual presents a pragmatic and clinically proven approach to the prevention and treatment of undergraduate alcohol abuse. The BASICS model is a nonconfrontational, harm reduction approach that helps students reduce their alcohol consumption and decrease the behavioral and health risks associated with heavy drinking. Including numerous reproducible handouts and assessment forms, the book takes readers step-by-step through conducting BASICS assessment and feedback sessions. Special topics covered include the use of DSM-IV criteria to evaluate alcohol abuse, ways to counter student defensiveness about drinking, and obtaining additional treatment for students with severe alcohol dependency.
