Abstract/Description

Objective: This panel explores multifaceted aspects of sexual violence, examining its intersections with pornography, sexual education, legislation, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Three presentations offer diverse perspectives on this complex issue. The first analyzes public perceptions of dating violence in relation to pornography and sex education, illuminating how media exposure and educational approaches shape attitudes toward intimate partner violence. The second evaluates the efficacy of pornography website age-verification laws in mitigating sexual violence, addressing the relationship between online content regulation and real-world behavioral outcomes. The final presentation examines female sexual offending patterns before and during COVID-19 lockdowns, contributing to our understanding of gender dynamics in sexual violence during crisis periods.

Collectively, these presentations challenge conventional narratives surrounding sexual violence by exploring its varied manifestations and contextual factors. By examining public perceptions, legal interventions, and gender-specific offending patterns, this panel provides a comprehensive view of current issues in sexual violence research. The discussions highlight the intricate relationships between pornography consumption, educational strategies, policy, and societal crises in shaping sexual violence trends, offering valuable insights for policymakers.
