Date Rape Victims Spike The Truth

Young women may be overstating the prevalence of drink spiking and may be wrongly citing it as a factor in so-called "date rape", a recent study has found.
Researchers say many young women are blaming drink spiking instead of admitting they had drunk too much alcohol or taken illicit drugs. An analysis of 1000 cases of drug-facilitated sexual assault has found that just 2 per cent were the direct result of drink spiking.

The study, published in the Journal Of Forensic Medicine, found no evidence of Rohypnol, the most commonly cited date rape drug, in any of the urine samples analysed.

Co-author Fiona Burton, from the Forensic Science Service in London, said the study found that alcohol, either alone or with an illicit or medicinal drug, had been used in 46 per cent of cases that had been investigated.

Illicit drugs had been detected in 34 per cent of cases.

Drinking a lot of alcohol and using illicit drugs could cause a "lowering of inhibitions rather than the ‘loss of consciousness’ scenario typically depicted by the media version of drug-facilitated sexual assault cases", the study found.

"Alcohol consumption and use of illicit drugs should be considered as significant risk factors."

Paul Dillon, from the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, said that, while drink spiking did happen, the British research underlined the fact that people do not like looking at the obvious. "Drink spiking is in the public consciousness now," he said. "People say, ‘I’ve had the same amount of alcohol that I’ve always had.’ But alcohol’s a drug like any other drug and it’s unpredictable."

He said it was important for people who believed they had had their drink spiked to come forward to authorities as soon as possible.

Ann Roche, director of the National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction, said Australians were obviously fond of alcohol and "much more comfortable demonising other drugs".

"Because we’re so fond of alcohol, we’re not so concerned with the negative effects," she said.

Professor Roche also said not a lot of research had been done nor was there much public understanding of alcohol-related blackouts.

"It’s a very, very common phenomenon," she said.

Women’s drinking patterns were also changing, partly because there are more drinks available with a higher concentration of alcoholic volume and more young women were drinking at risky levels, she said.

"But that’s not to say the incidence of adverse consequences are not being experienced."

New South Wales Rape Crisis Centre manager Karen Willis said a much more common form of drink spiking was slipping more alcohol in people’s drinks.

"That’s almost impossible to research," she said.

"I think there’s a certain level of cultural acceptance that getting someone pissed to have sex with them is OK, while, in fact, it’s highly unethical, particularly when you can turn it around and blame the victim."

Rape is rape, is rape… getting a double nip of spirits instead of a single, to give the drink a bit more spike!!! should also be considered a crime a lot more than it is. Stand next to any bunch of slobs in a bar and you will quite often hear one say… we’ll get her pissed, then we can all fuck her!!!
