Sexual Violence Victims

      Using the UK Library search engine, Academic Search Complete, I found a very interesting article called, "Campus and College Victim Responses to Sexual Assault and Dating Violence: Disclosure, Service Utilization, and Service Provision". This article is about studies about sexual violence, sexual assault, and dating violence. After reading this article you will be provided with information, and statistics about all the sexual violence in the country.

      This article gives important details on what sexual violence is, who is mostly targeted, and why it happens. In the beginning of the article it has some very compelling statistics about sexual violence. The statistic that stood out the most to me, said that women are most likely to be raped between the ages of 18-24. This is a very scary stat for college girls, because if your in college, then your probably between these ages. Most of this article is about the research, and studies of sexual violence. If your wanting to read this interesting article, then hers the link, link,http://tva.sagepub.com.ezproxy.uky.edu/content/15/3/201.full.pdf+html
 The article then goes on explaining different methods, models, and disclosures of their studies. The article concludes with basic advice to avoiding sexual violence, ways for help, and the biggest factors that lead to sexual violence.

      After looking at this article I wonder who, and how are these statistics found? Who is being studied? Are they studying people in a specific area, or school? How many people were studied?
