Women told 'drink less' ...
A police chief sparks controversy today by suggesting the number of rapes in Scotland could be substantially reduced if women drank less. Neil Richardson, assistant chief constable of Lothian and Borders Police, bases his claim on new research which identified victims' alcohol consumption as significant in a third of attacks. The senior officer said "a lot" of the 1,100 rapes a year could be prevented "by people not allowing themselves to be in a vulnerable position". Richardson - who stressed he was not blaming women - spoke out after a study of more than 120 rapes revealed alcohol intake was a major factor in 40 cases. # posted by masquerader @ 17:18 ::
