17 2025 ARC3 SURVEY FINDINGS misconduct. The contrast between rising safety perceptions among women and declining ones among men suggests that gendered experiences of safety continue to vary and should be explored further. When asked whether sexual violence is a problem at Northern, 25% of females and 17% of males agreed in 2025 compared to 40% of females and 20% of males in 2022. While this data could indicate a perception that sexual violence has become less of an issue over time they could also point to reduced awareness, reporting, or concern, highlighting the importance of maintaining education and prevention efforts. A reduced perception of risk does not necessarily mean the problem has been resolved.
