Modern campus rape policy built on flawed studies

It is not unheard of for a researcher to repurpose data from other studies. It was, however, unusual to hear a researcher so vague about his subject matter and authorship.
The survey instrument used to collect the data on sexual assault was the Abuse Perpetration Inventory. This is a long, detailed, and graphic instrument created by Lisak. There are seven pages of items that ask about childhood experiences of a sexually and physically violent nature. There are only five questions that ask respondents about sexual violence they, as adults, may have committed on other adults.
There were 1,882 subjects in the pooled data, men ranging in age from 18 to 71. Assuming they reflected the demographics of the university, most would have been part-time students, many of whom would also be holding down jobs away from campus. All would have been commuters.
Among these men, 120 had engaged in actions that meet the legal definition of rape or attempted rape, based on responses to an anonymous survey they completed. (Subsequently, Lisak refers to them all as rapists, although he does not indicate how many he’d classified as rapists and how many as attempted rapists.) Of those 120 men, 76 met Lisak’s definition of multiple offenders.
Lisak told me that he subsequently interviewed most of them. That was a surprising claim, given the conditions of the survey and the fact that he was looking at the data produced long after his students had completed those dissertations; nor were there plausible circumstances under which a faculty member supervising a dissertation would interact directly with subjects. When I asked how he was able to speak with men participating in an anonymous survey for research he was not conducting, he ended the phone call.
I'm on my phone so I can't comment at length, but WOW should suffice.
It seems that just like drug policy,the modern campus rape policy is built on a study of dubious controls and a insanely small sample size.
The article is long and a little dense but worth the time to read.
frick.

That's what you get for asking such a hateful question. Pig.

Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand
But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, so I will restrain your hands.

Colleges have to do something to keep the frat boys from drugging and raping every female they see

I tried to read it, but I didn't get the point, other than they were trying to discredit a guy and his research. I've never heard of him though and I'm not familiar with his research. I guess it's saying that he embellished and maybe made up statistics to back-up his claim that rape is so common on college campuses or among college students{?}.
Honestly, it really all depends on how they are defining rape. Sleeping with a girl past the legal limit can be considered rape in many cases (if she didn't consent before starting to drink). Legally they are unable to give consent, so there you go. Drinking is a huge part of college life. Or it was when I went to school..
