Although research on acquaintance, or date rape, dates back to the late 1950's, only recently has the literature in this area focused on prevention. In Fidition, although research has shown that, conservatively, 1 out of 10 women on university campuses has been raped by someone with whom she is familiar, little appears to have been done about the problem in terms of widespread, well-funded prev...
