Abstract
In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to crime on college and university campuses, especially sexual assaults of women on college campuses. Studies widely acknowledge that college-age students experience sexual victimization. This study explored whether there is an association between students’ gender, alcohol consumption, Greek membership, class level, and sexual victimization on college and university campuses. Secondary data from the American College Health Association – National College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA) was analyzed to test the level of statistical significance of the relationship. The findings showed that female students, students who consumed alcohol or in a Greek membership, or Freshman/Sophomore are sexually victimized at a higher rate. In addition, the results found a significant association between gender and sexual victimization. These findings illustrate that sexual victimization continues to be a problem on college and university campuses.
