Abstract
Jennifer Hirsch and Shamus Khan’s book Sexual Citizens offers an outstanding contribution to existing literature on campus sexual assault by applying a public health approach to understanding this phenomenon. Their extraordinary work not only identifies the root causes of this prevalent problem but also provides an array of appropriate solutions to address it. The book provides a much-needed conceptual shift that breaks away from familiar paradigms that largely focus on adjudication models toward implementing forward-looking preventive measures to address the problem of campus sexual assault. This innovative approach transforms our understanding of sexual assault in general and campus sexual assault in particular.
