Presenter: Dr. Denise Hines, Research/Visiting Assistant Professor, Clark University

This presentation covered findings from a large multinational study on sexual coercion. It focused on whether the status of women and adversarial sexual beliefs predicted differences in sexual coercion across 38 sites from around the world and whether sexual revictimization operated across gender and cultures. The first study to explore these issues multinationally, this study adds to the body of knowledge around risk factors for perpetration of sexual coercion and explores sexual coercion against both men and women in light of feminist theory.
