abstract="Despite the growing salience of sexual assault victimizations on college campuses, reporting of such events remains low. A better understanding of what affects students' reporting behavior and to whom they are likely to report victimizations can aid in developing policies and programs that promote reporting. Using a sample of 336 college students, this study uses hypothetical scenarios to examine the factors that affect individuals' likelihood to report sexual assaults to the police and to university officials. <br><br>RESULTS show that students are significantly more likely to report sexual assaults to the police than to university officials. In addition, wanting justice, trust in police and university officials, and a desire for services are among the most consistent factors that affect students' likelihood to report to both the police and university officials.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
