Connecticut, they said, was one of the few countries with a consortium of colleges, where the deans, nurses, experts in the field of mental health and local and national authorities for victims of sexual coercion gather to share information on the prevention and treatment of victims of physical attacks.

The consortium is organized by the Connecticut Sexual Assault Crisis Services, which consists of 18 representatives of colleges and universities, meets once a month during the school year, listening and comparing guest speakers and notes.

”I think it’s important that people around the table to some of the best practices, as well as entries on the challenges and new ways to deal with situations,’’said Kathleen Holgerson, director of the University of Connecticut Women’s Center.

Among the most powerful tools on the campus of the community are Response Teams, “said Laura Cordes, responsible for the training and speaking for the Connecticut Sexual Assault Crisis Services and the coordinator of the consortium of the university. The teams collect, deans, health, the Centre staff, police officers, psychologists, counselors and rape crisis campus to improve the response to sexual violence.

For Rhoda Lt Averna, orders campus of the police unit responsible for investigating cases of sexual coercion, the reaction of the team, it has to others, in the care of victims. Because human beings, responding to an attack to communicate, people who go to a dean, the same signs that the victims, in the centre or mental health of women.

The Student Right-to-Know “and” Campus “Security Act, a 1990 federal law, institutions of higher learning that their crimes and their security policies, has also inspired higher education to improve their political, “said Lapierre. James Moore, Department of Education officials provided by higher education institutions for non-compliance with the act, said he could not agree that each university, Connecticut been cited as it concerns the application of the law. law has forced universities, more open about how they are sexual harassment, “said Lapierre.

Some universities have also started to develop male peer educators programmes for men in the prevention of sexual coercion. At UConn, Men Against Violence Against Women seminars to explain how men can help prevent sexual violence.

Victim argues generally agree that the awareness of sexual violence are significantly improved, but statistics, it is misleading, “said Lapierre. If the number of sexual harassment cases increases, it may be difficult to determine if this means that more people feel comfortable with us, or if more women are attacked, “said Lapierre. This logic works, although the number.

”We simply do not know enough about how to play the statistics, which, over time, “said Lapierre”,” but what we do know is the phone rings again.”

Among the data available, it is possible to Department of Justice study on sexual assault against women in the College published in 2000, the few statistics on the extent of the attacks on sexuality College Campus, Ms. Lapierre said.

Domestic, 1000 for women at every school, there are about 35 rapes, an exhaustive study. The same study indicates that less than 5 percent of the women told the police about rape and attempted rape. Some women who have found the study, do not think, the events have been detrimental or somewhat important not have enough evidence, while others feared reprisals by the offender. Still others said they did not want their parents.

In comparison with the 959 victims at the age of 18 to 24 during the previous year. Last year was the first year within the group Statistical specifically designed for students.

But some colleges, especially the police, not campus divisions, the first person that the answer would be residential dormitory’s advisers as may be poorly equipped for the victims, people dealing with the prevention of sexual assault said.
