The problem is how to get the data without contributing to the atmosphere of fear. Because that atmosphere really does harm quality of life for a lot of women, and is not in any real way helpful at mitigating the danger, because it hardly ever comes with usable advice or strategies attached.
I suspect the most common and useful strategy is the “Girls come in pairs and groups” thing. Which has the advantage of not being a stressor in the way turning yourself into Nicola Griffiths Aud would be, and also likely pretty darn effective—Hard to get raped if your bestie is kicking your assailant in the kidneys.
On a much better tangent: Aud is awesome, and I am really confused noone has made her into a series of blockbuster movies yet.
