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

I was gratified to read Robin Garrett's response. She is right, of  course, 
that there are some schools and some individuals doing exceptional  work and 
that it is a mistake to ignore them when we assess the overall  situation.
 
But, Robin Garrett used a phrase that I think is very destructive and  that I 
suggest we stop using. She wrote "Even in "he said-she said" cases .  . ." 
This is a very minimizing and inaccurate phrase that defense attorneys (and  
excuse-making prosecutors) love. In fact, most cases in the criminal  justice 
system involve credibility assessments. It has not been my  experience that 
sexual assault -- as opposed to, for example, robbery -- is less  likely to 
have 
extrinsic proof. But I have never heard anyone refer to a  mugging as a "he 
said/she said" or a "he said/he said" case.
