In a particular study conducted by Charlene Y. Senn, surveys were given to females ranging from age seventeen to twenty-four. Some of the students had experienced some form of sexual violence since the age of fourteen. If parents taught their children the valuable strategies used to prevent sexual assault before the children go to college, then the amount of sexual assault that transpires at such young ages can be reduced. In addition, the overwhelming amount of sexual assault that occurs on university campuses would most likely be
