Due to their age and lifestyle, female students as a group are
especially at risk from various forms of sexual violence – the aim of
the three-year European-wide research project “Gender-based Violence,
Stalking and Fear of Crime” (2009-2011) is to verify this hypothesis and
to collect, analyse and compare relevant data in five European
countries. By analysing the qualitative and quantitative data in a
comparative survey it aims to rising awareness for the victimisation of
female students. In the consequence this will support universities in
their efforts to decrease sexual violence at universities, to help
victims and to implement adequate instruments of prevention and
intervention.
The EU project, which has been funded through the programme “Prevention
of and Fight Against Crime” initiated by the EU Commission on General
Justice, Freedom And Security, is being coordinated at the Department of
Criminology at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany. Besides the German
university the consortium covers the University of Bologna, Jagiellonian
University in Cracow/Poland, Universitát Autonoma de Barcelona/Spain and
Keele University/U.K..
