Study Notes
Domestic Violence and Consent
- Domestic violence can be classified as a felony or misdemeanor committed by any intimate partner.
- Consent can be withdrawn at any time, highlighting the importance of continuous agreement in any sexual interaction.
- A single violent incident within a relationship is sufficient for it to be categorized as domestic violence.
Stalking and Bystander Intervention
- Stalking involves behaviors directed at an individual that induce fear for safety or significant emotional distress.
- Effective bystander intervention requires recognizing harmful situations and responding appropriately; direct confrontation may escalate defensiveness.
- Keeping a record of encounters is advisable if one suspects they are being stalked.
Misconceptions in Relationships
- Contrary to common belief, arguing does not preclude a relationship from being healthy.
- Compromise in a healthy relationship does not entail satisfying all of a partner's needs.
- Sexual harassment can impact more than just the victim, affecting the broader community as well.
Sexual Assault and Harassment
- Most sexual assaults on college campuses involve individuals who are already acquainted.
- Hostile environment sexual harassment may involve persistent sexual jokes, unwanted touching, and inappropriate gestures.
- Agreeing to a rape kit exam does not automatically imply intention to pursue legal action.
Myths and Strategies
- It is false to suggest that individuals experiencing dating or domestic violence should simply end the relationship; support and understanding are crucial.
- Strategies for defusing dangerous situations include delegating responsibility rather than deactivating the threat directly, especially when uncertain how to intervene.
- Bystander intervention encompasses recognizing a potentially harmful situation and acting to positively influence the outcome; all options for intervention are valid.
