| The law of unintended consequences: Is Jeanne Clery the reason university presidents can't stop rape? |
MILESTONES IN CAMPUS RAPE (The sad story so far…)
- 1957. American Sociological Review publishes Clifford Kirkpatrick and Eugene Kanin’s “Male Sex Aggression on a University Campus.” Their article claims/predicts that college men use secrecy and stigma to pressure women in sexual situations.
- 1986. Jeanne Clery is raped and murdered in her dorm room. She is a freshman at Lehigh University, an idyllic campus she and her parents had fallen in love with. Though Jeanne is initially interested in Tulane, she settles on the Pennsylvania school because it “feels safer.”
