NPR has a piece out called Myths That Make it Hard to Stop Campus Rape. It is well worth a read, even if it has some serious issues that I would like to take to task, as well as some good truths.

The main point is one that I think college campuses and (to pound in my main blog topic) in part the military as well, forget, is that a slap on the wrist is not enough to take care of the problem of a rapist. The mistake that people in charge of doling out punishments seem to assume is that this is a one time childish indiscretion. We have been told that most of the time the reason that college rapists aren't being expelled is because it was a case of miscommunication.
