Here is an interesting article in Reason by the always interesting Josie Appleton.
"This year, a study by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) tried to get in first – with evidence that drink-spiking is largely a myth. Researchers examined 120 cases of alleged drug-assisted assault, and found not a single trace of the notorious ‘date-rape’ drug Rohypnol. They found Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB), the other drug often mentioned, in only two cases.
Most of those who claimed to have been drug-raped were just plain drunk, with half also showing traces of another drug in their systems, such as ecstasy or cocaine. " |
