Sexual Violence

Course Code: PSYC1610P
Credits: 3
Term: 2026 Fall

Sexual violence is a serious public, personal, and familial enigma that impacts health, opportunity, relationships, and overall well-being. This course seeks to promote a better understanding of the field of sexual violence, its causes, impact, consequences, risks, protective factors, and prevention. Sexual violence can occur in person, online, or through technology. It crosses all social boundaries and affects people of every age, gender, ability, sexual orientation, and cultural background. It knows no bounds, and anyone can experience or perpetuate sexual violence. Through the lens of an anti-oppressive framework and evidence-based approach, students will gain an understanding of the laws, equity issues, trauma, and supportive interventions for survivors. Additionally, students will explore the risk factors that may contribute to sexually harmful behaviour, current preventive measures, and treatment outcomes for those who sexually harm.
