OBJECTIVE It is widely assumed that universal mandatory reporting policies (MRPs) for sexual misconduct are important for campus safety, but there is little evidence to support these assumptions. HYPOTHESES Given the exploratory nature of this research, no formal hypotheses were tested. We did not expect universal MRPs to be significantly associated with increased reporting or postreporting outcomes. METHOD Data on MRPs and sexual misconduct reporting in annual security reports and to Title IX coordinators at institutions of higher education in New York (N = 188) were used to examine the prevalence of universal MRPs as well as the relationship between MRPs and reporting and postreporting outcomes. RESULTS Descriptives showed that 44% of institutions of higher education have a universal MRP. Multivariate linear regression models indicated that universal MRPs were not significantly related to reporting in annual security reports; reports to Title IX coordinators, campus police, campus safety or security officers; or rates of referrals to additional services, no-contact orders, access to the judicial conduct process for sexual misconduct, or findings of student responsibility for sexual misconduct. CONCLUSIONS Our findings raise concerns about the widespread implementation of MRPs and highlight the need for future research on their impact on student-survivor reporting and access to remedies and resources.

普遍的强制报告政策在全州大学样本中显示出无效效应。


目标 人们普遍认为，针对不当性行为的普遍强制报告政策（MRP）对于校园安全很重要，但几乎没有证据支持这些假设。假设 鉴于本研究的探索性，没有测试任何正式的假设。我们预计通用 MRP 不会与报告或报告后结果的增加显着相关。方法 年度安全报告中以及提交给纽约高等教育机构第九条协调员的 MRP 和不当性行为报告数据 (N = 188) 用于检查通用 MRP 的流行程度以及 MRP 与报告和事后报告之间的关系结果。结果描述表明，44% 的高等教育机构拥有通用的 MRP。多元线性回归模型表明，通用 MRP 与年度安全报告中的报告没有显着相关；向“第九条”协调员、校园警察、校园安全或保安人员报告；或转介额外服务、禁止接触令、针对不当性行为诉诸司法行为程序的比率，或调查学生对不当性行为责任的调查结果。结论 我们的研究结果引起了人们对 MRP 广泛实施的担忧，并强调了未来研究其对学生幸存者报告以及获得补救和资源的影响的必要性。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
