Abstract

Campus sexual misconduct policies (SMPs) outline prohibited conduct. We sought to document the range of terms used to refer to forms of nonconsensual sexual contact in SMPs and to analyze the content of definitions provided for the term "sexual assault." We coded the 2016-2017 SMPs from a sample of 381 U.S. schools. We identified 125 unique terms and documented both a terminological and conceptual morass around sexual assault. Policy language may have implications for students' and administrators' evaluation of experiences and reports of sexual assault.

校园性行为不端政策（SMPs）概述了禁止的行为。我们试图记录 SMP 中用于指代未经同意的性接触形式的术语范围，并分析为 "性侵犯 "一词提供的定义内容。我们对来自 381 所美国学校样本的 2016-2017 SMP 进行了编码。我们确定了 125 个独特的术语，并记录了围绕性侵犯的术语和概念泥沼。政策语言可能会影响学生和管理人员对性侵犯经历和报告的评估。
