Was It Rape? An Examination of Sexual Abuse Statistics.
Gilbert, Neil
American Enterprise, v5 n5 p68-77 Sep-Oct 1994
A careful review of research suggests that the problem of sexual assault has been magnified and the data misinterpreted, in part because the issue of sexual violence against women has become enmeshed in politics. The current trend in sexual-violence research is to redefine it according to the ideological preferences of advocates. (SLD)
