A RECENT REPORT OUT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE BRINGS SOME ENCOURAGING NEWS.
RESEARCHERS HAVE FOUND THAT THE NUMBER OF WOMEN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED INCIDENTS OF UNWANTED SEXUAL CONTACT HAS DECREASED OVER THE PAST 12 YEARS.
THE STUDY WAS BASED ON A SURVEY OF HUNDREDS OF UNH STUDENTS IN 1988 AND THEN AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 2000.
UNH PSYCHOLOGY PROFESSOR ELLEN COHN (CONE) WAS ONE OF THE SIX RESEARCHERS CONDUCTING THE SURVEY FUNDED BY THE UNIVERSITY.
SHE DESCRIBED THE FINDINGS TO NHPR?S MARK BEVIS.
