Scholarly Publications

These publications represent findings from focus groups conducted during the Culture and Perspectives on Sexual Assault Policy (CAPSAP) study. They were produced by researchers within the CAPSAP team, sometimes along with colleagues who have overlapping research interests. Our rich data has enabled us to think through multiple, often complex aspects of sexual assault policy and response in culturally diverse institutions. Scholarly publications continue to emerge based on the CAPSAP study.
