The efficacy of routine activities theory is examined to explain sexual assault on the college campus. Although many research studies have utilized routine activities theory to predict sexual assault using individual-level factors, little is known about the effect of school-level factors on a student's risk of sexual assault. Based on interviews from 3,036 randomly selected students and surveys from 11 randomly selected colleges in the United States, a hierarchical linear model was created to predict student victimizations by school characteristics. For the individual, results reveal that being female, drug use, and marital status are statistically significant for predicting the probability of a sexual assault. At the institutional level, however, none of the variables are significant in predicting sexual assault among college coeds. Policy implications for prevention measures on college campuses are discussed.
本文考察了日常活动理论在解释大学校园性侵犯问题上的有效性。尽管许多研究利用日常活动理论，通过个体层面的因素来预测性侵犯，但对于学校层面的因素对学生遭受性侵犯风险的影响却知之甚少。基于对美国随机抽取的3036名学生的访谈以及对11所随机选取的大学的调查，构建了一个分层线性模型，以根据学校特征预测学生受侵害情况。对于个体而言，结果显示，女性身份、吸毒和婚姻状况在预测性侵犯概率方面具有统计学意义。然而，在机构层面，没有一个变量在预测女大学生的性侵犯方面具有显著性。本文还讨论了大学校园预防措施的政策含义。
