The Role of Institutions in Non-Stranger Sexual Violence
Institutions of all kinds, both formal and informal, shape our lives. They also reflect as well as influence our culture. Regardless of how honorable their intent, educational, military, corporate and religious institutions often unwittingly attract, conceal and protect rapists and sexual predators. Responding professionals can benefit by understanding how these cultural bulwarks can become havens for sexual predators, and how to work with institutions to best protect their members and prevent infiltration.

Men and #MeToo: Possibilities and Perils in a Time of Change
During this webinar, Jackson Katz will address some of the ways that men have responded to the #MeToo outpouring of women's voices about their experiences of harassment, abuse and violence, and the enormous amount of work that remains to be done. Among its many contributions, the #MeToo movement has put cultural ideas about "manhood" under critical scrutiny like never before. Dr. Katz, one of the world's leading educator-scholars on the topic of engaging men in the prevention of sexual and domestic violence, will share insights and strategies for inviting men into the conversation in constructive and potentially transformative ways.

School Resource Officers and Title IX: K-12 Responses to Sexual Misconduct
With Title IX guidance and regulations in flux, this session briefly explores developing case law around the requirement that educational institutions receive actual notice of sexual misconduct through an “appropriate person” before liability attaches under Title IX. While often employed by local law enforcement, school resource officers often serve as agents for K-12 school districts to receive reports of sexual assault, dating violence, stalking, and other forms of gender-based harassment and abuse. Properly training school resource officers to respond to reports under Title IX will improve K-12 grievance procedures addressing sexual harassment, misconduct and violence to avoid liability and, most importantly, to ensure students feel safe and supported within their educational environments.

Law Enforcement Sexual Misconduct: Introducing a Model Policy Resource for Prevention and Accountability
The overwhelming majority of those who serve in the noble profession of law enforcement are professionals who uphold their oath of office. However, we cannot ignore the numerous headlines, arrests, convictions, and lawsuits describing horrific acts of sexual misconduct perpetrated by law enforcement officers. When a predatory sexual offender has the power and authority of the police, this creates an extremely serious breach of the ethics of the profession, a violation of the color of law, and a traumatic victimization of a colleague or citizen whom law enforcement has sworn to protect.
