Pornography, “Serious Rape,” and Statistics: A Reply to Dr. Kutchinsky
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 April 2024
Extract
Apparently there are lies, damned lies, statistics, and then Childress's review essay. My essay has “transmitted false information,” as Dr. Berl Kutchinsky puts it (1992:447), as well as fomenting “considerable confusion” about the outcome of various population studies on pornography and violence (ibid.). Yet since Kutchinsky points to no erroneous figures or data that I cited, other than assuming I misunderstood his own studies, at bottom the misinformation is a “false inconclusiveness verdict on the criminological pornography research” (p. 453). Worse, my essay is censorial because it calls for further study when, apparently, such testing wastes everyone's time as the matter has been definitively settled by Kutchinsky's own research.
