“…UCC has been engaging in numerous activities to address SGBV on their campus including policy formation, establishment of CEGRAD, and a formal response process that includes advocacy and connection with off-campus resources (e.g., healthcare, police) as needed and desired by survivors. Ideally, a campus climate survey would have been conducted before these activities to capture longitudinal changes in student knowledge and attitudes (Follingstad et al, 2021). However, to date, most campus climate surveys have focused on measuring knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors in HICs such as the United States and Canada and have not focused on cultural or contextual adaptation to capture campus climate globally.…”

Aims Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is a global public health crisis, impacting university youth around the world. The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) determine the best methodology for conducting a campus climate survey at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) in Ghana and (b) gather data on SGBV knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors from a representative sample of students. Methods This descriptive study included three phases: (a) develop a campus climate survey unique to UCC, (b) develop a sampling methodology, and (c) deploy the first ever campus climate survey at UCC. Results A 71-item survey was developed and then administered via a student portal to 2,000 students. Of those students, 1,381 (69.1%) responded. Although most students (63.2%) know the university has a sexual harassment policy, fewer have seen it (25.9%) or read it (22.3%). Students held generally positive views of how the university would respond to reports of sexual harassment, although 50.2% of participants believed the reporter would be labeled a troublemaker. More participants reported seeking and giving verbal than nonverbal consent, and more men than women reported both seeking and giving verbal consent. More men than women reported they “always” sought verbal consent (61.2% vs. 47.7%, p = 0.001). Most students (n = 316, 56.5%) sought verbal consent all of the time, and an additional 99 (17.7%) sought it most of the time. Conclusions Accurate data about students' knowledge, attitudes, and experiences with SGBV policy, prevention, and response are needed globally to better inform locally appropriate practices. Potential Impact of Campus Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Assault on Forensic Nursing Forensic nursing is currently localized in high-income countries. University students' knowledge, attitudes, and experiences with SGBV can support the expansion of forensic nursing research and practice to low- and middle-income countries.

“…Establishing location as a potential parameter has implications for whether incidents happening during summers or on school breaks when the student is not at college are excluded. Additional data regarding the location of sexual assaults on college women has been collected by some researchers (e.g., Follingstad et al, 2021) and these data could be collected for more clearly evaluating incidents as Red Zone experiences. A related issue is whether it is important to establish that sexual victimization incidents were perpetrated by that college's students and personnel (to include administration, staff, faculty) as part of the campus Red Zone phenomenon.…”

The term Red Zone refers to a period of time thought to be high risk for sexual victimization upon entering college in the United States, although empirical evidence for a defined Red Zone has not been established. This article critically reviews empirical research from the last 20 years that investigates the temporality of sexual assault reported by undergraduate women. A keyword search of three major sociopsychological databases was conducted, and articles were included if they reported original empirical results of the timing of sexual assault on campuses, if they directly compared different class years, or if they reported on sexual assault by class year. Ten articles meeting criteria were evaluated in light of methodological, definitional, and measurement issues to assess whether support for a Red Zone of risk exists. We posit that the current extant literature does not provide clear empirical support for the concept of a Red Zone at the beginning of a woman’s entry into college and lasting for the first month or two. However, extending the potential time frame for a Red Zone to include college women’s first and second years has some merit, although the usefulness of considering half of a woman’s college career as high risk for sexual violence is questioned. Importantly, investigations into the temporality of campus sexual assault (CSA) would benefit from the inclusion of multiple other risk factors as potential mediators/moderators to understand whether identifying a particular time frame is useful or whether social contexts and risk factors explain the significance of an identified time frame.

“…In the past few years, there have been occasional high-profile and horrific acts of violence on campus [ 1 ]. Statistical analysis shows that violent incidents on campus are rare [ 2 , 3 ]; although the incidence is extremely low, these incidents are indeed so terrible and painful that they seriously endanger campus security and social security. Therefore, it is essential to strengthen the management to maintain campus safety.…”

JRL‐YOLO: A Novel Jump‐Join Repetitious Learning Structure for Real‐Time Dangerous Object Detection

Campus security incidents occur from time to time, which seriously affect the public security. In recent years, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has brought technical support for campus intelligent security. In order to quickly recognize and locate dangerous targets on campus, an improved YOLOv3-Tiny model is proposed for dangerous target detection. Since the biggest advantage of this model is that it can achieve higher precision with very fewer parameters than YOLOv3-Tiny, it is one of the Tinier-YOLO models. In this paper, the dangerous targets include dangerous objects and dangerous actions. The main contributions of this work include the following: firstly, the detection of dangerous objects and dangerous actions is integrated into one model, and the model can achieve higher accuracy with fewer parameters. Secondly, to solve the problem of insufficient YOLOv3-Tiny target detection, a jump-join repetitious learning (JRL) structure is proposed, combined with the spatial pyramid pooling (SPP), which serves as the new backbone network of YOLOv3-Tiny and can accelerate the speed of feature extraction while integrating features of different scales. Finally, the soft-NMS and DIoU-NMS algorithm are combined to effectively reduce the missing detection when two targets are too close. Experimental tests on self-made datasets of dangerous targets show that the average MAP value of the JRL-YOLO algorithm is 85.03%, which increases by 3.22 percent compared with YOLOv3-Tiny. On the VOC2007 dataset, the proposed method has a 9.29 percent increase in detection accuracy compared to that using YOLOv3-Tiny and a 2.38 percent increase compared to that employing YOLOv4-Tiny, respectively. These results all evidence the great improvement in detection accuracy brought by the proposed method. Moreover, when testing the dataset of dangerous targets, the model size of JRL-YOLO is 5.84 M, which is about one-fifth of the size of YOLOv3-Tiny (33.1 M) and one-third of the size of YOLOv4-Tiny (22.4 M), separately.
