Diana Scully: A Feminist Mentor and Torch Bearer.

In this piece, two former students and colleagues of Diana Scully reflect on her influence on their academic, professional, and personal lives. The authors provide a general overview of Scully's contributions to gender equity in terms of scholarship and curricular development, as well as her commitment to mentoring students and junior colleagues. They share their individual journeys developing expertise and working in the field of violence against women, as well as their collaborations as teachers, researchers, advocates, and service providers that were influenced, guided, and promoted by Scully.

Prosecution as a "Soul Crushing" Job: Emotional Labor and Secondary Trauma in Working Sexual Assault Cases.

Prosecutors who work sex crimes face considerable legal constraints, for example, the need for corroborating evidence to prove their case, as well as extra-legal factors including biases that influence decision-making across the criminal justice system.

This inductive study explores the ways prosecutors handle system constraints and how they experience and manage their response to emotionally difficult cases.

Connection and Caring Through a Therapeutic Juvenile Corrections Model: Staff and Youth Resident Perceptions of Structural and Interpersonal Dimensions.

This mixed-method exploratory inductive study examined incarcerated youths' and staff members' perceptions of a new community-focused therapeutic model in a large youth prison. Via 18 focus groups ( = 141) and facility-wide surveys ( = 248), both youth and staff shared perceptions of specific structural components of the model designed to change their relationship to one another, such as consistent staffing, higher staff-resident ratios, and program features designed to enhance rapport. Both groups also provided rich descriptions of the altered interpersonal dynamics related to connection and caring, two of the five C's of Positive Youth Development (PYD), that were facilitated through those structural changes.

"Suddenly Everyone's an Expert in Our Field": Campus Victim Advocates and the Promise and Perils of Professionalization.

Changes in how campuses respond to sexual assault under Title IX may dramatically alter the experiences of survivors and the roles of responders. This exploratory study examines how the roles of campus-based sexual assault victim advocates are changing and the effects on advocacy and survivors. Although most advocates agree that Title IX has increased awareness and reporting of sexual assault, they are concerned about the loss of confidential outlets for reporting, conflicts with other responders, and devaluation of their role.

Sexual Assault in the Ivory Tower: Public Opinion on University Accountability and Mandatory Reporting.

Highly publicized college sex crimes have recently captured public and policy attention. In response, greater discussion has turned to institutional accountability and controversial reforms such as mandatory reporting (MR). No study to date has measured public perceptions of campus sex assault procedures, however.
