Sexual Assaults of Male Military Personnel

Females have long been viewed as the primary victims of sexual assault but, based on survey data, RAND estimated that in 2014, about 9,000 to about 13,000 male service-members were sexually assaulted. This book addresses the extent to which DOD has taken actions to prevent and respond to sexual assaults of male service-members; DOD's sexual assault prevention and response program is meeting the medical and mental health-care needs of male service-members; and the culture of the U.S. military poses distinct challenges for preventing and responding to sexual assaults of male service-members.
