Status Updates From Sexual Violence on Campus: ...

“Although rates of incarceration for sexual violence have increased in the past several years, rates of sexual victimization have not decreased.”

Don’t be shy Chris tell us why! Name prisons as being directly counterproductive to sexual violence prevention you chicken shit! Admit that prisons create and cause sexual violence miss power consciousness! God you’re so close come on

the author: this book is about ~power consciousness~ and using that to analyze sexual violence
also the author: the only reason why black women don’t use the “criminal justice system” is bc its sometimes unfair :( no I wont mention the current way the system punitively targets black women survivors nor will I say it was literally created to terrorize black ppl & destroy black communities. power conscious 😌

“Although the ultimate goal of reporting the numbers of crime on and around campus is to prevent crime, the heavy administrative expectations for complying with the law takes time and resources away from engaging directly with the prevention of crime, including sexual assault. Similarly...the Clery Act also placed responsibility for preventing crime on potential victims, rather than potential perpetrators.”

reading this book for my job over the course of the semester. so far she’s been like “we can’t be power neutral when talking about sexual assault” and then has been largely neutral about prison and police lol
