BSC Talking Points – Jessica Eaton, victim blaming in sexual assault. 

Each month the BSC postgraduate community hold a talking points session on Facebook. Here we or a guest contributor pick a topic to discuss live on-line, in our facebook group, for an hour.

This months BSC TALKING POINT is brought to us by Jessica Eaton. She will be discussing victim blaming in sexual assault. Jessica is from Birmingham University and is in the first year of her Forensic Psychology PhD. Her research uses a mixed methods approach to explore the prevalence, impact and experience of victim blaming and self blame after rape and sexual assault of women using a national survey and a series of interviews with women after rape and sexual assault and with professionals from rape centres around UK. Jessica is also the national training manager for JustWhistle and Chairperson and Founder of The Eaton Foundation (first male mental health centre in the UK).
