Presentation Abstract

Sexual assault survivors experience a reduced income of hundreds of thousands of dollars over their lifetime—resulting from career plan changes, persistent health issues, and more. Join Cornell University Social Statistics lecturer Liz Karns to learn more about a side of sexual assault that is rarely discussed: the economics. From interrupted classes to lifetime health impacts the costs add up to a staggering amount. Karns will draw on her background in statistics and as lawyer representing sexual assault victims as they seek acknowledgment of their injuries. Focus on evidence from the courtroom and social sciences that allows an understanding of the real costs that can follow after an assault. .
