Press Play with Madeleine Brand
Yes Means Yes Governor Brown has signed what’s known as the “Yes Mean Yes” law. It makes California the first state in the nation to try to take the ambiguity out of sexual consent on college campuses. But while the law sounds good on paper, many have questions and doubts about how it will be interpreted.
Which Way, L.A.?
New State Bill Would Address Sexual Assault on Campus USC and Occidental College are among the institutions accused of under-reporting crimes on and near campus. Now state legislation has been proposed. KCRW's Madeline Brand spoke to LA Assemblyman Mike Gatto about his bill requiring reports of sexual assaults on college campuses to local police and with Sofie Karasek, a survivor of a sexual assault at UC Berkeley. Note: Madeleine Brand's new program, Press Play , will be on the air starting on January 27.
