Adjudicating Campus Sexual Misconduct and Assault: Controversies and Challenges convenes the voices of leading legal and social analysts and practitioners to discuss the most complex dimensions of this timely and critical issue. The volume provides thorough and honest assessment of adjudication options and promotes dialogue regarding how to increase collaboration, improve responses, and address challenges that arise both within institutions and externally.

The text addresses the issue of consent, mandatory reporting, confidentiality, the role of attorneys, and standards of proof. Contributors discuss how campus adjudication processes differ from those of the criminal justice system; the advantages and disadvantages of various models of investigation and adjudication, including alternative models such as restorative justice; and the advantages and disadvantages of various types of sanctions. The book features perspectives regarding adjudication and sanctions from both the accused and college students more broadly. It concludes with a discussion of best practices and recommendations for continued progress.

Adjudicating Campus Sexual Misconduct and Assault is part of the Cognella Series on Family and Gender-Based Violence, an interdisciplinary collection of textbooks featuring cross-cultural perspectives, cutting-edge strategies and interventions, and timely research on family and gender-based violence.
