TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Sexual abuse in Canadian university and college dating relationships: The contribution of male peer support JO - Journal of family violence A1 - De Keseredy, Walter S. A1 - Kelly, Katharine SP - 41 EP - 53 VL - 10 IS - 1 N2 - Using data from a Canadian national representative sample survey of male university and college students, this study tested three hypotheses from a theoretical model which attempts to explain the relationship between male peer group dynamics and sexual assault in dating relationships. Consistent with previous research conducted in the United States, the findings reported here show that male peer support is a significant predictor of sexual abuse in post-secondary school courtship. This article concludes with several suggestions for further research.
