Reason magazine posted this essay by Cathy Young about date rape. Read it and think about the essay by Jacoby in your text. How are these two pieces similar? Can you find any differences?
The Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network has created a site with information about rape counseling centers, rape statistics, and RAINN's mission and vision. If you'd like to do some research about these issues, their homepage is a good place to start.
