In reply to the discussion: Eckerd College President: You Can Stop Rape By Not Drinking Or Having Casual Sex [View all]Hari Seldon

but alchohol does seem to play a role in a lot of crime.
I think a lot of crime would go away if we didn't have places where people could drive to and once there become so inebriated that they may commit or become the victims of crime.
I hope this isn't victim blaming, because that isn't my intent.

You can stop rape by locking everyone alone in their rooms 24 hours a day, too

Or...Rapists can stop raping. (Are merchants blamed for shop-lifters? Are banks blamed for robbers?)
