Rates of sexual violence among youth who have experienced trauma remain high and more research is needed to develop trauma-informed approaches that address this widespread issue. The Catholic University of America is pleased to have the opportunity to advance efforts to reduce the incidence of youth sexual violence through interventions for adolescents with trauma histories who have caused harm. Dr. Jamie Yoder of Colorado State University and I look forward to this research shedding light on the root causes of sexual violence among youth and helping make our communities safer.”
