Abstract

Objective

Few studies have compared measures of sexual misconduct reporting, and there are few assessments of campus policies on reporting.

Methods

Using data from New York institutions of higher education (IHEs) (N = 209) we compare the number of sexual misconduct incidents reported in Annual Security Reports (ASRs) and to Title IX coordinators, and explore the relationship between policies and reporting across both measures, while controlling for institutional factors.

Results

The majority of IHEs had higher numbers of sexual misconduct incidents reported to Title IX coordinators than reported in ASR data. Student bills of rights were associated with higher reporting in ASRs no policies were associated with reporting to Title IX coordinators.

Conclusions

Campus sexual misconduct is both a public policy and a public health problem; we must advance the role of data and data-driven decision-making in crafting evidenced-based solutions.

比较年度安全报告和第九条协调员数据中的不当性行为事件：政策是否会增加报告

摘要

客观的

很少有研究比较不当性行为举报的措施，也很少对校园举报政策进行评估。

方法

使用纽约高等教育机构 (IHE) ( N  = 209) 的数据，我们比较了年度安全报告 (ASR) 和第九条协调员报告的不当性行为事件数量，并探讨了这两种措施的政策和报告之间的关系，同时控制制度因素。

结果

大多数 IHE 向“第九条”协调员报告的不当性行为事件数量高于 ASR 数据中报告的数量。学生权利法案与 ASR 中较高的报告相关，但没有政策与向第九条协调员报告相关。

结论

校园不当性行为既是一项公共政策，也是一个公共卫生问题；我们必须提升数据和数据驱动决策在制定循证解决方案中的作用。
