Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Interesting article, more of the same of what we generally already know. 
And unfortunately, subtly rife with the implication that women who drink 
are responsible for rape.

I'm curious as to what others of you (those who work on college campuses) 
think about how we explain 'risk reduction' effectively to students so that 
it is understood for what it is: *one* strategy to reduce the likelihood of 
rape. Do you put it on par with other risk reduction strategies, i.e. 
education for men, and norm-changing efforts? why or why not?
