Inhalt: The thesis of this essay is that the dynamics of particular social contexts make them more probable sites for sexual assaults, irrespective of individual men’s attitudes or beliefs. Among such contexts are military units; street, drug, and motorcycle gangs; elite schools; college fraternities; and men’s athletic programs (see Harkins and Dixon 2010 for a review of sexual assaults by groups of men or boys). As with other aspects of sexual assault, rape on U.S. campuses received extensive attention earlier (Martin and Hummer 1989; Sanday 1990) and now, after two decades, the issue is salient again. Carey et al. (2015) claim that today’s college women are five times more likely than other women to be sexually assaulted.
