Study on false rape allegations
Article here. Though this study looks like it was done or last edited in 2001, this is still a good resource. Dr. Kanin is also mentioned in the Wikipedia entry on rape statistics, which is also a good page to bookmark in your "MRA Issues" folder. Excerpt:
'Currently, the two main identifiable adversaries involved in the false rape allegations controversy are the feminists and the police. ... Some feminists virtually deny the existence of false rape accusations and believe the concept itself constitutes discriminatory harassment toward women (see Grano, 1990). On the other hand, police are prone to say the reason for not believing some rape complainants resides in the fact that the rapes never occurred (Payton, 1967; Wilson, 1978; Jay, 1991). Medical Examiners lend support to this police position by emphasizing the ever-present possibility that rape complainants may be lying (Shill, 1969, 1971).'
