PROFESSOR MARK PERRY TAKES APART NORTH DAKOTA “HATE SCHOLARSHIP” ON MEN AND RAPE: No polling organization would ever be taken seriously if its sample size was 73, and neither should this ‘study’ on college rape.
To fully comprehend just how bogus this “study” is, imagine the public and media reaction if a polling organization like Gallup, Rasmussen Reports or Pew Research ever tried to release survey results on presidential or Congressional approval or any other topic with a sample size of 73 (instead of the typical random sample sizes of between 1,000 and 1,500 necessary to achieve standard margins of sampling errors)! Those polling organizations would immediately lose credibility and would never be taken seriously again by the public and media – and that should be the same reaction to this “study,” these “researchers” and this “journal.”
Actually, imagine if you did a study with a sample size of 73 that purported to show that blacks were strongly predisposed to rape, and then promoted it with that racial finding. This piece of “hate scholarship” is just as bad.
