Sexual violence is down at American military academies, but many survivors still aren’t reporting assaults

The United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs saw some of the largest declines.

A recent report released by the United States Department of Defense found the estimated number of “unwanted sexual contact events,” or any form of sexual assault, has fallen at the nation’s top military academies. 

The announcement may soothe some worries that have plagued the universities since multiple investigations revealed widespread assault and harassment.
