Study: Sexual Assualt Prevention Program Decreased Rapes By 50% - campusreform.org


Excerpt from this article:

"The study, published yesterday in the New England Journal of Medicine, followed 893 freshman women at the Canadian Universities of Calgary, Windsor, and Guelph between September 2011 and February 2013. Roughly half of the students participated in multi-hour sessions of lectures, problem-solving activities, and self-defense training to prepare them to resist sexual assault. The other half of the group was sent to a 15-minute presentation about assault and given brochures.

Women who received 12 hours of training were 46 percent less likely to be raped and the program reduced the risk of attempted rape by 63 percent. According to the LA Times, women who received 12 hours of training were 46 percent less likely to be raped and the program reduced the risk of attempted rape by 63 percent."
