Other way around
Owing to an editing error, our report “Women who dress provocatively more likely to be raped, claim scientists” (June 23) wrongly stated that research presented at the recent BPS conference by Sophia Shaw found that women who drink alcohol are more likely to be raped. In fact, the research found the opposite. We apologise for our error. Link
Update July 16, 2:45 pm: Commenter Charlene points to a Bad Science article that offers more background on the correction. As Charlene notes, "That correction doesn’t even scrape the surface of the mistakes they made."
