This special issue under the guest editorship of Bonnie Fisher and Pam Wilcox is the second in a two-issue sequence devoted to examining recent research on sexual victimization on college campuses. The first issue in the sequence consisted of studies largely focused on the prevalence, correlates, service utilization, and disclosure of different forms of sexual violence against the general population of college students and various subgroups (e.g., sexual minorities, racial, and ethnic minorities). This second issue is comprised of articles that examine various issues surrounding the campus policies and practices aimed at sexual violence and sexual harassment response and prevention.

Women face barriers to obtaining jobs as police officers and encounter additional challenges once hired into a department. Police culture has historically been unwelcoming toward women and cultural change is a key element to encouraging more women to enter the field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
