This article by Eugene J. Kanin, Ph.D. gives an excellent overview of false rape accusations. As a college student they try and convince us (most are convinced) that 1 in 4 women will be victims of a sexual crime by graduation.
Let's do some math: Syracuse University has approx. 18,000 students. 55 percent are female (almost 10,000 women). The 1 in 4 theory suggests 2500 women will be a victim of sexual assault by graduation. Are you kidding me? 2500! Completely ABSURD.
"These false allegations appear to serve three major functions for the complainants: providing an alibi, seeking revenge, and obtaining sympathy and attention."
