Amid expanded media attention and a shifting policy landscape, many institutions have grappled with programmatic and legal challenges related to systems of investigation and adjudication of sexual assault cases. Meanwhile, many have worked to develop and deploy proactive preventive measures including those involving bystander engagement, peer-driven interventions, sexual assault awareness campaigns, self-defense programs, and the innovative use of social media and other technology. In this context, there is a growing need for high-quality empirical research that can shed light on the extent and nature of campus sexual assault; evaluate existing institutional systems and processes; and promote the development, testing, and evaluation of novel approaches that respond to unmet needs and challenges. As an introduction to a special journal issue devoted to this nascent but rapidly emerging field of inquiry, this article offers context and perspective on the vital role that research can play in the development and advancement of effective policies and strategies to prevent and effectively respond to campus-based sexual assault.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1079063218800471","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,2]],"date-time":"2018-11-02T05:59:54Z","timestamp":1541138394000},"page":"263-269","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Campus Sexual Assault: Forging an Action-Focused Research Agenda"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Andrew J.","family":"Harris","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen J.","family":"Terry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"John Jay College of Criminal Justice, New York City, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alissa R.","family":"Ackerman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"California State University, Fullerton, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1079063218800471","unstructured":"American Association of University Women.
