Sexual Victimization
Professor Alvin Malesky, Forensic Psychologist, will offer a topics course in the May Mini-mester (PSY 393-40) entitled "Sexual Victimization."
This course will address public policy and treatment issues from the perspectives of both the perpetrators and survivors of sexual victimization. This course will also focus on typologies of offenders as well as examine issues specific to female and juvenile sex offenders. Finally, this course will address the personal and societal consequences of this type of abuse.
Both lecture and classroom discussion will be used in this course. We will also watch popular movies such as The Woodsman and documentaries such as Awful Normal during the course.
Please note that the material covered in this course (including the videos) can be emotionally evocative and the classroom discussions intense.
