“According to the 2007 “Campus Sexual Assault Study” sponsored by the National Institute of Justice, more than 50% of incidences of campus sexual assault occur in the first few weeks of the fall term. A 2003 Department of Justice Report supports these findings, as does a 2008 study, “Risk of Unwanted Sex for College Women: Evidence of a Red Zone,” published in the Journal of American College Health. Freshmen are particularly at risk. They are often new to independence and naïve to real dangers lurking behind the university party scene. The story of Anna, a college student of Hobart and William Smith Colleges, is enough cause for concern.
The New York Times recently featured an article, “Reporting Rape, and Wishing She Hadn’t,” about Anna’s experience with the university investigation of her case. The article focuses on the lethargic, inconsistent, and dismissive handling of Anna’s case, ranging from failure to protect victim privacy to a general lack of support.”

I guess it’s relieving that watching Horrors, thrillers, psychological movies…instead of watching the news is not a choice only I made in this period
