NPR Series on Campus Rape: Repeat Offenders, Failed Justice


NPR has been running a series of interviews, articles, and exposes on the continuing problem of rape on college campuses. The latest installment cites a recent study that finds 9 out of 10 campus rapists are repeat offenders, not single-incident occurrences. You can follow the links along this article's left and right margins to see other reports in the series. Given the upcoming Take Back the Night event here at JMU, and given our class discussions on women's sexuality and our culture's prevalence of gendered violence, I hope you'll take the time to read and comment on these articles.
