STEPHEN M THOMPSON

 

Author of the book, No Zebras! Engaging Bystanders in the Movement to End Sexual Aggression, Steve Thompson has been devoting himself to studying the whys and hows of sexual aggression for years. He has gone into prisons to talk with offenders, and has interviewed police officers, psychologists, doctors, and thousands of survivors. His unique approach is a result of over 35 years of research and street experience involving hundreds of interviews with survivors and offenders. He has presented over 1,500 programs dealing with sexual assault, stalking, relationship violence, workplace violence, threat assessment, and harassment throughout the country. Steve is retired from Central Michigan University as an Associate Professor and Sexual Aggression Services Director. He is an assault investigation consultant and criminal profiler for police agencies throughout the USA. He is also a court-qualified expert witness who has consulted with many agencies and the media on some of the country's most public cases.

 

In 2012, Steve started No Zebras Productions. This unique program incorporates video and live presenters educating audiences on issues of sexual aggression, bystander engagement, consent and harassment. No Zebras Productions has spent three years traveling the world conducting programs for the Department of the Navy on sexual aggression and engaging bystanders. Today, No Zebras Productions is active nationally educating college students on the realities of sexual aggression and bystander engagement.

 

Besides the book, No Zebras! Engaging Bystanders in the Movement to End Sexual Aggression, Steve Thompson also authored No More Fear, Kendall/Hunt Publishing Co., and wrote the most comprehensive behavioral analysis of familiar sexual predators titled “Date/Acquaintance Rape – The Crime and Criminal Profile” in the scholarly journal, Campus Law.
