Abstract
We investigated barriers to the reporting of campus sexual assaults based on gender and awareness of campus sexual assault resources. Overall, women were more likely to cite negative feelings about themselves and fear of perpetrator retribution compared to men, and most participants were not aware of resources available to them.
