The California Aggie Online is currently undergoing some research and development. Please bear with us as we work to provide a better web site for you. Sara Jost Aggie Features Writer UC Davis has a commitment not only to academic education, but also to informing students about issues such as sexual assaults. The school and community provide a variety of services to students who are victims of sexual abuse - to help reduce the prevalence of such crimes.
Students often suffer from dysfunctional relationships that can lead to sexual assault.
Campus programs and resources reach out to females who may feel trapped in such situations. Tension builds in the beginning stage, eventually leading to explosion and battery. The cycle often leads to the male expressing regret and making unfounded promises after abusing his partner. Many victims realize that such relationships are detrimental, but they may not know how to seek help or they may believe the abuse will stop. However, as the cycle repeats, the victim may find the situation getting worse and may fear for her safety.
