Better data needed on sexual assault

Article here. Excerpt:

'A study regularly touted by numerous media outlets (not to mention the White House) says 1 in 5 women will be sexually assaulted on her college campus before she graduates.

Let me say that another way.

If you believe this finding and you’re a female college freshman, then you must accept that you have a 20 percent chance of being sexually assaulted in the next four to six years.

Twenty percent.

That’s greater than the likelihood of a woman being diagnosed with breast cancer (1 in 8) in her lifetime.

And if true, it would make college campuses one of the most dangerous places for women in America today.'
