["Irvine, Mahri" <>]

Dear All,

 

(Apologies for cross-postings!)

 

Earlier this summer I sent out the initial response from Jim Hopper, David Lisak, and Allison Tracy regarding Swartout et. al.’s recently published article about serial and one-time rapists; many of you had probably already seen it, as it was posted on the Prevent Connect website. I’m really pleased to have the chance to share a revised and expanded critical response from Hopper, Lisak, and Tracy. You can also see the attached document as well as visit the linked site. I find this expanded critique to be extremely helpful, and I hope that some of you find it helpful, too.

 

Since the Swartout et. al. article received so much attention from media and anti-violence organizations, I hope that we be able to share this important critique just as much as the original article was shared; please feel free to send this document and the site link to your list servs and your colleagues, etc.

 

Sincerely,

Mahri
