Chapter 16 Injury and Violence

Discussion Questions for Activity #5

NAME:

If you have been paying attention to the news recently you are aware of the large number of individuals coming forward and saying they were sexually assaulted or raped by people in positions of power. Did you know that every two minutes someone in the United States is sexually assaulted? Did you know that college age women are four times more likely to be sexually assaulted than any other age group? Did you know the majority of rapes are committed by someone the victim knows? This is a real problem that affects us all.

Review the information included in Chapter 16’s module and use the knowledge gained to thoughtfully answer the following questions.

1. If another student made an inappropriate or derogatory comment such as “whore” or “slut” what might you say in accordance with bystander intervention concepts?

2. Should the reputation of the victim or perpetrator factor into how reports of sexual assault and rape are handled? Why or why not?

3. Jackson Katz does not provide sensitivity training to his clients he instead provides __________ training.

4. From course material and your own observations, what terms are often used to describe women who speak out against sexual assault, rape and domestic violence?

How might these terms keep girls and women from voicing their opinions?

5. What 4 components define consent?
