Abstract

In the UK, figures suggest that over two-thirds of female university students experience sexual violence during their studies (1), with 1-in-20 having been raped or the victim of an attempted rape offence (2). However, despite a secure understanding of its prevalence, little remains known about the profile of sexual violence perpetrators in higher education (HE) settings. It is believed that our studies are the first in the UK to assess the treatment needs of sexually aggressive male students-the key perpetrators of university-based sexual violence offences (3, 4). Study One assesses the characteristics and predictors of sexual aggression amongst university males at one UK university, whilst Study Two evaluates the generalisability of findings across a national and representative sample.
