Peer reviewedUllman, Sarah E.; Knight, Raymond A. – Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 1992
Using police reports and court testimonies, examined women's resistance strategies to rape. Results indicated that 85 percent of the women who resisted with physical force were responding to the offender's initiated violence. Women reacting with physical aggression to violent attack were more likely to avoid rape than were nonresisting women. (RJM)
