Training to prevent sexual assault halves risk of rape on campus, study finds

Training female college students to recognize and fend off unwanted sexual advances can halve the risk of rape, experts said following a trial program in Canada. The risk of rape for first-year students who took the 12-hour training course was about 5 percent versus nearly 10 percent for a control group who were given brochures and brief information sessions instead.
