Calculating the rate of stranger rape from the data available is nontrivial and would require either access to statistics software ($$$$$) or a spreadsheet and a fair bit of skill. Statistics software is not necessarily $$$$. R is absolutely free. I've never used it, though. Thanks for the link; pr...

Are you really that naÃ¯ve or is it an act? This retconning of the atheist blogosphere is not "better" at all and allows the spiral of stupid to go on indefinitely: "Anyone who would say/condone X is a horrible hater with nothing positive to contribute!"

Wed Sep 19, 2012 4:18 am Recently, Rebecca Watson posted a select few â€œthreatsâ€ on her blog, yet when you really look at them, theyâ€™re certainly no worse than the Atheism+â€™ers themselves do over on their forums and blogs. The majority are simply â€œyou ought to get rapedâ€ comments, which,...

The raw data for the National Crime Victimization Survey are available via NACJD. The raw set breaks down rape vs. sexual assault into separate variables.

Not that many over there were particularly quick in picking up on that.

She is both highly sensitive to, aware of, and to some degree educ...

Not only do numerous women report rape and sexual assault that never happened, but how many men do you think feel comfortable reporting they w...
