Våldtäkt och falsk angivelse

En sociolog vid namn Eugene J. Kanin påvisade i en forskningsavhandling att falsk angivelse låg bakom ca 40 procent av alla anmälda våldtäktsfall.

Eugene J. Kanin, False rape allegations:

"With the cooperation of the police agency of a small metropolitan community, 45 consecutive, disposed, false rape allegations covering a 9 year period were studied. These false rape allegations constitute 41% the total forcible rape cases (n = 109) reported during this period. These false allegations appear to serve three major functions for the complainants: providing an alibi, seeking revenge, and obtaining sympathy and attention. False rape allegations are not the consequence of a gender-linked aberration, as frequently claimed, but reflect impulsive and desperate efforts to cope with personal and social stress situations."
