description: Men have a responsibility to prevent rape. Research on the causes of campus rape and sexual assault indicate that it is the experience of masculinity itself - how men think of themselves as men - that creates the psychological and cultural environment that leads us to rape; and that this environment is perpetuated in men's relationships with and expectations of each other. To be effective, rape prevention work with men must therefore focus on men's experience. This pioneering volume of New Directions for Student Services provides resources for professionals in higher education who want to work with men to reduce the incidence of sexual assault and rape on campus. Extensive guidelines are provided for the development and implementation of a model rape prevention program for men, including student perspectives on facilitating such a program. Student personnel administrators interested in working with men to prevent rape and sexual assault will benefit from the theory, research, treatment models, innovative programming, student perspectives, and resources reviewed in this volume.
