One of the most controversial disputes affecting the discourse related to violence against women is the dispute about the frequency of false allegations of sexual assault. In an effort to add clarity to the discourse, published research on false allegations is critiqued, and the results of a new study described. All cases (N = 136) of sexual assault reported to a major Northeastern university over a 10-year period are analyzed to determine the percentage of false allegations. Of the 136 cases of sexual assault reported over the 10-year period, 8 (5.9%) are coded as false allegations. These results, taken in the context of an examination of previous research, indicate that the prevalence of false allegations is between 2% and 10%.
其中一个影响有关针对妇女暴力的论述的最具争议的争议是关于性侵犯虚假指控的频率的争议。为了使论述更加清晰，对有关虚假指控的已发表研究进行了批评，并描述了一项新研究的结果。对一所东北大学在 10 年期间报告的所有性侵犯案件（N = 136）进行了分析，以确定虚假指控的百分比。在所报告的 10 年期间的 136 起性侵犯案件中，有 8 起（5.9％）被编码为虚假指控。这些结果，结合对先前研究的检查，表明虚假指控的发生率在 2％至 10％之间。
