HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT THE MOVEMENT?

The fight for reform in how schools treat victims of student-on-student crime spans decades.  This organization recognizes that SCAR is only one of many communities of survivors and allies working together to raise public awareness about the harsh realities of rape.

If you are interested in starting a SCAR chapter at your school or you would like to speak to a SCAR representative regarding advice or to ask a specific question not addressed by this site, please do not hesitate to contact us.

It is only through a continued increase in public awareness that this systemic issue can finally be adequately addressed.

To that end, SCAR embraces a transparent relationship with the press.

If you have questions about SCAR's current objectives and activism, or if you would like information on why students are filing Title IX and Clery complaints, an interview with a SCAR representative can be scheduled via this contact address.

It has come to the Coalition's attention that a pattern of treatment exists within the Los Angeles Police Department regarding victims of interpersonal violence — domestic abuse, date rape, intimate partner rape, for example — and that this dismissal of victims' rights includes the District Attorney's office, responsible for prosecuting these crimes.

We are particularly interested in cases in the vicinity of the USC University Park campus and the UCLA campus.  We are also gathering documentation regarding the conduct of Detective Derek Fellows.
If you or someone close to you experienced any of the following, your testimony may help expose a disturbing pattern within the Los Angeles Police Department:

  • You were misinformed or never informed of your rights as a victim (Marsy's Law).
  • LAPD never followed up with you regarding the status of your initial complaint.
  • Your police report included factual errors that led to its eventual dismissal.
  • Your assigned sex crimes detective never followed up with you regarding the status of the investigation.
  • You were never interviewed for the investigation.
  • Your complaint was dismissed due to a detective's incorrect dismissal of valid evidence or lack of knowledge of the California Penal Code.
  • Your complaint was dismissed despite the existence of a witness or witnesses to the crime.
  • Your case was not scheduled for trial by the District Attorney for "lack of evidence" or the District Attorney's belief that it could not be proved beyond "a reasonable doubt" to a randomly-selected jury.
