Peer Assessments: ___________________________________________________________________________________ Ashlynn Cohen (11/27/23) Ashlynn presented her topic about sexual victimization very well; she delivered well researched statistics in not only college athletics but also mentioned how it may affect younger athletes. She mentioned how many of these sexual victimizations start with grooming, and are many times not reported because of the retaliation that may result from it. She was able to show a video that further described a specific case that occurred and affected more than 140 gymnasts that were under the care of Larry Nazzar. Question: Were there any specific charges against those who were aware of the reports but did not take action? Christopher Velardi (11/27/23) Chris did an amazing job a presenting facts about male bullying and I really enjoyed how specific it was to one gender. He delivered great statistics and how society may be able to change the stigma on how men are treated when they do speak up and different outreach programs and/or personal changes we can make that will help men more understood and supported by friends & family. Question: Do you feel there has been a generation change between your male family members and how they may respond to bullying vs how you or your friends may respond? Caleb Matthews (11/27/23) Caleb did a great job at presenting his topic about gender-based victimization and how it more specifically effects women, he did preface saying that he was troubled finding information on just men which alone showed the gap in research and reporting and a need for change so that men can feel more supported and heard when they are in danger. Dani Washington (11/27/23) Dani did an excellent job at presenting information about the importance of victim impact statements. She described the types of victims that can be affected by crimes, that may not be the primary victim the actual crime directly affected. Dani explained what victim impact statements are and are not allowed to include, including profanity, threats, or symbolic threats (such as a middle finger). She went on to say how most victims do not want to personally deliver their impact statements and may be hard to find or make sure they are available the day of the trial due to ever changing court schedules.
Max Albertson (11/27/23) Max delivered great information about the importance of underreporting. He provided statistical information about actual reported crimes but made sure we understood that it is obviously impossible to have a statistic on underreporting therefore statistics are based off of estimates. He made sure to speak on special population of individuals that may be even more likely to be a part of the underreporting statistic such as LGBTQIA+, Men, and inmates, because of the retaliation that may result if they were to go through with the report. Max even did a great job at including specific cases we reviewed in class such as Matthew Shepard and Brandon Teena. Question: Do you feel that underreporting will ever truly be able to reach its targeted groups without them reporting this issue, will there always be a gap? Kylie Pragg (11/29/23) Kylie did a great job at presenting the information about title 9 and how it has evolved over the years and how it effected various groups of people. Kylie delivered information about the “roadmaps of equality” that explained the other important acts or pieces of legislation that were being executed during that time. She also went over the process one would need to take if they were looking to file a “Title 9” complaint. Kylie also connected the ways in which Title 9 is correlated with topics and theories we have discussed and learned about in class. Question: Do you feel reports have increased since this act was put in place? Claire Linhard (11/29/23) Claire forewarned the audience about the sensitivity of her topic, which I thought was very professional and is preparing her for a time when she may need to present to an audience that may not be as used to hearing about these sort of issues. Claire did a great job at educating her audience about the training that officers receive in the academy towards mental health and how little they actually learn about the signs and symptoms. She discussed the statistics of officer suicide rates compared to other employees in similar field such as firefighters and EMS. Claire even reviewed the program sin place that are in departments to help assist officers that reach out for help. Claire was very well educated on her topic and did extensive research on the comparisons in various states throughout the nation to gain a better understanding of the consistencies within the statistics. Question: Were you able to investigate the statistics behind the increase or decrease in mental health after particular departments implemented new programs for officers dealing with mental health issues? John McLaughlin (11/29/23) John discussed the issues behind workplace violence and how it affects big and small business around the nation every day. He discussed the various types of victimization in which harm can be inflicted on victims of workplace violence. John delivered the ways in which business
respond to extreme amounts of workplace violence and how they may change their hours, change locations, or may even close down forever. John presented the resources that the U.S Small Business Administration have in place to help aid small businesses runt he best they can and prepare for situations. John also discussed the statistics of business that returned to work after a specific type of crime affected a small business. Question: Were you able to find a statistical increase or decrease for small business who had previously been targeted and then tried extensive preventive measures such as leaving their lights on at night or buying security cameras? Karly Dizzine (11/29/23) Karly focused in on sexual assault in same sex relationships and the how common “date-rape” is in our generation now. She discussed the annual statistics from 2010-2023 and how it affected both males and females. Since Karly was focusing on LGBTQIA+, she also thoroughly reviewed the statistics on how sexual assault has affected that specific group of trans or bisexual individuals. Karly helped to educate the audience in understanding the steps you can take if a family member or friend comes to you if they have been sexually victimized in the past and are asking for help. Question : Did you notice more of the pronouns or LGBTQIA+ identifications in statistical charts or are these charts still just using male and female specifications? Sam Collins (11/29/23) Sam did an amazing job presenting her topic and giving real time statistics on how common rape and underreporting are in United States. Sam was so engaging with her audience and was very well knowledgeable about her topic discussing her information further than what was listed on her slides. Sam covered the resources outside of the police that are available to help those victimized by sexual assault. Sam really interacted with her audience by asking us questions and allowing them to engage in the content she was presenting and educating us on. Question: Do you feel that there are enough programs in place to help those who are initially fearful to report and then finally do report? Kaleigh Koneval (11/29/23) Kaleigh discussed the importance of IPV in same sex couples and how it has personally affected close friends of her and how she has been interested in learning more ways to break stigmatisms and help someone that reaches out in a time of need. Kaleigh discussed the statistics specifically in LGBTQIA+ community and how it affected specific identifications or sexual relationships than others. Kaleigh provided possible solutions that may benefit those in need or those who have friends in this community, so they can be prepared in case someone they know asks for help.

Cedar Brown (11/29/23) Cedar discussed the importance of sexual harassment and how it is “up to the victim” and how it affected them not necessarily what society feels about the situation. Cedar really helped to discuss the statistics and how we can relate it to our personal life and how low statistics can be in one category/gender. Cedar covered stigmas around certain genders and how the repercussions or response to a victimization from a specific gender may contribute to reporting statistics. Cedar thoroughly delivered information on the harsh “reals” about this topic and how it can vastly affect many genders or identifications based on their experience during the victimization.
