ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book provides a brief description of the evolution of the federal legislation to address crime among college students, in particular sexual violence. Researchers and practitioners alike have noted these barriers to intervention and have created college-based programs that will help reduce those barriers. These programs are known as bystander intervention training and are one of the programs required by the Save Act. Given the preceding criticisms, it concludes that one may think the federal government acted too hastily in their requirement of colleges and universities to implement bystander intervention training. The involvement of community responsibility through bystander intervention is a promising new approach to reducing sexual assault victimization and perpetration among college students. Perhaps coupling bystander intervention training with other campus sexual violence prevention strategies can be part of a comprehensive, multi-pronged approach to changing college students' attitudes and behaviors.
