However, little qualitative work has investigated how survivor disclosures of alcohol/drug-related assaults relate to relationship changes for romantic partners and family members. This dyadic qualitative interview study examined relationship changes in romantic partner (n=4 pairs) and family (n=4 pairs) survivor-informal support provider (SP) pairs. Romantic partners reported positive changes, such as disclosure being a growth opportunity in the relationship and openly addressing negative behaviour in the relationship. Partners also reported negative changes of a) SP minimizing the assault, which reduced survivor perceived safety in the relationship, and b) SP taking control of survivor decisions, which diminished the relationship. Family also reported positive changes (e.g., disclosure strengthened trust and protection), and negative changes (e.g., victim-blaming leading to distanced relationships). Our findings suggest specific positive and negative relationship changes are experienced by survivors and their informal SPs following SA disclosure.</p>","PeriodicalId":46758,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sexual Aggression","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13049870/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147624076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There have been many calls for \"restorative justice\" (RJ) as a promising alternative. However, RJ in higher education settings remains relatively underexplored, particularly in relation to sexual violence. This scoping review synthesizes existing scholarship on RJ as applied to sexual violence within higher education settings in the United States. A comprehensive search was conducted in July of 2023. Emergent themes of 41included articles were: dissatisfaction with traditional adjudication practices; enthusiasm about possibilities for introducing RJ practices; concerns about practical and theoretical implications of using RJ practices on campuses; recognition of limited existing research; and recommendations/considerations for implementation. This review revealed significant gaps in existing evidence. Future research should examine the effectiveness, institutional uptake, and macro-structural context of RJ practices to address sexual harm on college campuses.</p>","PeriodicalId":46758,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sexual Aggression","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13008294/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147515650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These constructs have also been found to predict sexual misperception, a frequent intermediary for sexual aggression, and coercive condom use resistance. Whether alcohol and hostile masculinity and impersonal sex operate independently or in concert to increase the likelihood of male sexual aggression perpetration and these related behaviors is unclear, and prior studies produced mixed findings. To address these knowledge gaps, we reviewed empirical studies that examine the impact of associations between alcohol and hostile masculinity and alcohol and impersonal sex on sexual aggression perpetration, sexual misperception, and coercive condom use resistance by men. We identified 19 studies of undergraduate and community men. There was support for a shared pathway from alcohol use and impersonal sex to sexual aggression and misperception, although potential causal mechanisms remain untested. There was limited evidence that alcohol intoxication interacts with hostile masculinity to predict sexual aggression perpetration, but further studies are needed to replicate and extend these findings. Critical gaps include limited studies of sexual misperception and condom use resistance and limited testing of competing hypotheses.</p>","PeriodicalId":46758,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sexual Aggression","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12439866/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145082007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
