Abstract

Objective: It is widely assumed that universal mandatory reporting policies (MRPs) for sexual misconduct are important for campus safety, but there is little evidence to support these assumptions.

Hypotheses: Given the exploratory nature of this research, no formal hypotheses were tested. We did not expect universal MRPs to be significantly associated with increased reporting or postreporting outcomes.

Method: Data on MRPs and sexual misconduct reporting in annual security reports and to Title IX coordinators at institutions of higher education in New York (N = 188) were used to examine the prevalence of universal MRPs as well as the relationship between MRPs and reporting and postreporting outcomes.

Results: Descriptives showed that 44% of institutions of higher education have a universal MRP. Multivariate linear regression models indicated that universal MRPs were not significantly related to reporting in annual security reports; reports to Title IX coordinators, campus police, campus safety or security officers; or rates of referrals to additional services, no-contact orders, access to the judicial conduct process for sexual misconduct, or findings of student responsibility for sexual misconduct.

Conclusions: Our findings raise concerns about the widespread implementation of MRPs and highlight the need for future research on their impact on student-survivor reporting and access to remedies and resources. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

在全州高校样本中，普遍强制报告政策显示效果为零。

目的人们普遍认为，针对性不端行为的普遍强制报告政策（MRPs）对校园安全非常重要，但几乎没有证据支持这些假设：鉴于本研究的探索性质，我们没有测试正式的假设。我们并不期望普遍的 MRPs 会与更多的报告或报告后的结果有明显关联：方法：使用纽约高等教育机构（N = 188）年度安全报告中的 MRPs 和性不端行为报告数据以及向 Title IX 协调员报告的数据，研究普遍 MRPs 的普遍性以及 MRPs 与报告和报告后结果之间的关系：结果：描述性数据显示，44% 的高等院校具有普遍的 MRP。多变量线性回归模型表明，普遍的 MRP 与年度安全报告中的报告、向 Title IX 协调员、校警、校园安全或保安人员的报告、转介到额外服务的比率、禁止接触令、进入性不端行为司法程序或学生对性不端行为的责任认定没有明显关系：我们的研究结果引起了人们对广泛实施 MRPs 的担忧，并强调了未来研究 MRPs 对学生-幸存者报告以及获得补救和资源的影响的必要性。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved）。
