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

["Juliette Grimmett" <>]

this is NOT good.  It's been around for a while and offers a false sense
of safety - every day people that use these drugs to rape reinvent new
strains of it so that these coasters can't test for them.

Greetings Everyone,


I received a call this morning from a rep of this company. about drink
dective. Has but anyone heard about this being used on other campuses?
I'm highly skeptical on many levels, but wanted to hear from others.



The business I represent, Bloomsbury Innovations, based in London,
England, markets the Drink Detective  http://www.drinkdetective.com. ;
The Drink Detective tests for virtually all of the drugs used in drug
rape and other drink spiking crimes including Rohypnol, Ketamine & GHB. 
They have been successful overseas in increasing awareness and beginning
to combat the enormous issue of drink spiking in the UK and elsewhere.

As you are probably aware, drink spiking crimes are not easily solved
as victims are left with little or no memory of what happened so they
cannot be reliable witnesses.  Tests to confirm spiking are both very
expensive and mostly useless—because most drugs leave the system before
the person has a chance to get tested.  Where Drink Detective awareness
campaigns have been in place in the UK, there has been a marked
reduction not only in drink spiking but all sexual assaults.  I can send
you more specifics as well as testimonials from police departments if
you so request.
