Sexual aggression is a research area that focuses on understanding and preventing behaviors that involve the use of force or coercion to engage in sexual activities. This can include a range of behaviors, from unwanted sexual advances to rape and sexual assault. Research in this area seeks to explore the factors that contribute to individuals engaging in sexual aggression, such as attitudes and beliefs about gender roles and sexual relationships, as well as environmental factors like exposure to violence or substance abuse. Prevention efforts often focus on education and awareness programs that aim to challenge harmful beliefs and promote healthy and respectful relationships.
