College campuses are using mobile apps to prevent sexual assault

Sexual assault is endemic on college campuses. At least one in four women is reportedly a victim of assault during her academic career. Incoming freshmen, in particular, are most vulnerable to sexual assault during the first six weeks of the fall semester, a period commonly referred to as the “red zone” by sexual assault prevention groups. And although many colleges and universities have been accused of turning a blind eye to the issue of sexual assault, some are doing their part to combat the epidemic by encouraging students to download various apps that help to prevent sexual assault.

According to NPR’s Morning Edition, one of these apps is Circle of 6, which lets users send an alert to a preselected group of six friends or relatives if they encounter a threat on campus. By clicking an icon next to one of these names in the “circle of 6,” users can send an automated text message asking the recipient to call police or pick them up at their current location, which is transmitted via GPS.
