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

[Juliette Grimmett <>]

i think the question i want to ask all of you is, do you actually 
believe in the "red zone"?  Do you all believe that most college rapes 
occur during these first few weeks for first-year students?  I don't 
know if I believe this.  My work experience does not lead to this 
result, but I also did not do any actual studies.

it was tracked down by Nicolette Yevich (thank you) that the language 
about the red zone is in I Never Called it Rape on page 157.  Yet, 
there is still no statistic, only an assumption.  Has any real research 
been done on this???
