Firstly, if such a study shows that actions can be taken to reduce the
risk of rape in one community, and that they have a significant effect,
then it's not unreasonable to deduce that actions can be taken in other
communities as well. Or do you have actual credible sources that say
otherwise?

Secondly, I didn't say "they should do this or that". What I said was
that it's a good thing to try to figure out what could be done to reduce
the risks, and listed some things that could be studied to see if there
is some correlation.

What really irks me is when someone comes up and calls the act of actually
trying to do something with names like "slut shaming". Trying to *help*
prevent rapes is not victim blaming. Insulting people who do so is
disgusting.

Such an attitude is only detrimental. It gives women the notion that
"you are just a helpless victim and there's nothing you can do about it.
Don't let people tell you otherwise, they are just victim blaming you."
