Abstract

People are far more likely to call the police when they have been robbed than when they have been raped. Why is the reporting rate for sexual assault only around 5%? Stephen Thompson, Associate Professor and Sexual Aggression Services Coordinator at Central Michigan University, discusses with host Shirley Hoogstra the blameshifting, mixed messages, and other factors that complicate this kind of crime, and what we can do about it. Episode #705.
